Hello,
I'm new to this site and am doing my best to take in all the information I can. However, as I sit here reading, my algae is growing exponentially. I ordered one of the test kits that was recommended...and now I wait for it to be delivered. I tried to find the testers locally, but couldn't find the ones recommended.
The pool started turning green 2 days ago and I upped my chlorine. I have an automatic chlorine feeder that I've been adding tablets to daily and it's set to the highest setting. I'm concerned that I don't know if I'm using the proper amount of chlorine to do the job (or too much). After reading info on this site, I am now running the filter 24/7, vacuuming the pool and backwashing the filter. The PH is about 7.4 and Chlorine is about 2.0. Though my kit is old and I have doubts about it's quality.
I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to "Hit Hard" and start killing off the algae without having my test kit yet.
Any advice?
