Hi and welcome to TFP

Have you started out here Pool School - ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry

Pool math is a great tool and can help you with making necessary adjustments. How does your water look? Are you just maintaining a crystal clear pool and making those adjustments for maintenance?

I see that yes, you need to lower your PH with muratic acid. You also will want to raise your CYA. And as you do that your target for FC goes up per this chart. Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart

Thanks. I have been reading. Water looks good, but chronic black algae.

There are water bugs as well.

I added 4 pounds of CYA by way of the sock method. I also added a gallon of muriatic acid 35%. PH is down. We'll see what happens with the CYA. Thanks.
