Thank you, is this the same for Salt Water? the chart shows SWG 70/80? Sorry still learning :-) I assume I should add around 6 gallons of liquid chlorine to the pool to get the levels up high enough? Once this circulates out will all the levels be impacted and need to be adjusted?

Good morning all, I have been trying to upload a photo but every time, halfway through the site logs me out and it fails. Anyway black algae still persists I have increased the chlorine levels and swept the pool daily for a few days but it doesnt seem to be stopping the spread. Todays readings...

I will invest in a good kit. The CYA reading was today, 60 was the most accurate reading.

I think the 3 reading differs from what I saw on the Taylor kit, my kit only goes up to 4 so the 3 is on the high end of good for FC. This should however increase with the Chlorine boost.

I used a friends Taylor test kit to get the cya levels. I am not adding any more chess just boosting the chlorine with the salt generator.

Thank you all for your feedback the CYA levels are between 60 and 80 edging closer to 60. I do have the chlorine boost and will try that (is there any damage to the cell?) along with cleaning out all the equipment. Any recommendation on stain removers?
