    Algae will not die perfect water readings?

    Ok, I have a small 6000 gallon above ground pool. I have a swg and sand filter but my salt cells died so it turned green. With spring coming I’ve ordered new cells and need to kill the algae. so my cya is low, at 20 but I don’t want to raise it while slamming thinking it’s cold and not too...

But the weird thing is I was maintaining chlorine levels overnight so not sure...
