I have been battling algae, first mustard algae and now green, for about 3 weeks now. These are the results of my water analysis today done by pool store:
temp - 88
sat. index - .4
CYA - 40
Tot. chlorine - 9.2
Free chlorine - 9
ph 7.9
tot. alk - 141
adj. tot. alk. - 129
tot. hardness - 138
copper - 0.2
iron - .2
The chlorine is high because I read where you can kill algae with high chlorine levels. I put liquid bleach in the pool on Saturday after the new sand was put in the filter. The pool store gave me a free bottle of microfloc clarifier today, which I hesitate to use since algae is not dead. My son changed the sand in the filter two days ago. The pool people don't seem to know what to do so I really need some help! Thanks so much to anybody that can help me fix this problem....
