Hello,
I have a 3600 gallon abive ground pool that is 2 years old. I didnt have many problems with it last year but this year I am ready to drain it and get rid of it. Everything was fine but the last 2 weeks or so there has been some algae growing. I have been adding shock, brushing it and it goes away only to return in a few days. I am using the HTH 1275 Swimming Pool Care 6-Way test kit, which is new to me this year so I hope its pretty accurate. These are my readings today.
Chlorine-2
pH-7.5
Alkalinity-50
Hardness-150
Cyanuric Acid- the kit goes to 40 and the dot was still a a little bit visible at 40.
We have had an extremely hot summer this far temps between 115-118 for the last 2 weeks or so, which I am sure is affecting things but I dont know what else to do. It seems like I am throwing away money on chemicals but nothing seems to remedy the situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
