Now im thinking back a week ago when I brushed the pool, I remember stiring up the same very faint brown color at the bottom but at the time I just thought it was dirt. Its crazy because the rest of the...

OK now I see, Very informative!

Interesting. I just added the liquid chlorine now. In the case of an algae bloom, wouldn't I be seeing a big difference between FC and total chlorine? I never see that which is why I didn't think it was because of chlorine demand.

The filter is cleaned once a week, there is a cage around the pool so the water stays fairly clean. I bought the drop kit that was recommended by the pool company that initially set up the pool. What exactly do you consider a proper test kit? So any idea why all of a sudden I can't keep the...

This has now been a month long scavenger hunt to multiple pool stores and I'm still not 100% sure what the issue is. We have a 6 month old salt plaster pool (details in signature) and everything was great for a few months. We could keep the SWG down to around 18% and the chlorine levels stayed...
