    In correct chlorine reading?

    Thanks Chris... I thought I had been keeping it higher than needed.... the CYA chart for SWG pools doesn’t list a SLAM chlorine target for 50 CYA? Yes... pool looks good until I brush... then I get. Pale green cloud and a little green blush on some walls in the shade
