Trying to Get Rid of the Pool Cleaning Blues with Robotic Cleaner

I see your logs. Great job.
There is the free version, which you have, it allows you to save one complete log entry, and I believe it will not allow you to log chemical addition. But the calcs work.
The premium version allows you to save all the test data, chemical additions, etc. It's $8 per YEAR.
I think it pays for itself.
YMMV.

Great. Add 1 gallon per day, pour it in a pencil stream slowly in front of a return. Brush a bit.
Brush the entire pool once a day.
Run the robot if you want, keep pump running 24/7.
Clean or backwash your filter, note clean pressure. when pressure rises 25% clean/backwash again.
Do nothing else, add nothing else until your kit arrives,
Then post a full set of results to your math logs and prompt us in this thread.

I think I'll leave the robot out until the algae is gone. :)

I tried to upgrade to premium version of Pool Math, but my Kindle keeps looping back to home screen. Will have to delve into this further.

Ha, I ran mine the entire time of my ONE and only slam that brought me here.
Running it will not be a problem, that is what it is made to do...
Maybe I'll try it out this weekend, then. As for now, though, I will let the pump run 24/7 and add one gallon of bleach to pool daily until test kit arrives and receiving further instruction. I got an email saying kit had shipped.

I'm like you. Wife and I purchased a house (1963 brick split-level) in 2019 so I could renovate it as I find time. Killer F4 tornado passed within 6 miles of home we were living in and I decided then to move to a brick home. Pool came with the house. I do swim in it when I can keep it sanitized.
