New to the forum; posted my introduction in that section but I wanted to go ahead and get started...
Okay, I've ordered my test kit but I have some new Walmart Test Strips and wanted to go ahead and post those readings so I can at least get started....
My above ground pool is 5 years old, I have never had any trouble until this season and I can not get rid of green algae sediment on the bottom of my pool, no matter how many times I vacuum to waste, if I just vacum it to my filter it blows back out the jet and then causes an algae bloom, this has happened over and over this summer I have used bagged shock, bleach, lots of chlorine, it clears up everytime and then the algae sediment comes back and I start all over...
I dumped in six bottle of bleach last night so my free chlorine levels are going to be high but here are my readings today...
TH - 1000
Free Chlorine - 5
PH - 8.4
TA - 120
CYA - 100
Any and all help is appreciated...
