Hi all. I came here because I don't know where to start. I took a picture of my pool to start with and need help to defeat the algae growing on the walls. I bought a testing kit at home depot awhile back (will buy the one you guys recommend) and so far have gotten these numbers"
pH - ~6.8
FC - (through the roof?) (turns the testing water very red)
TA - ~ 80 (I added some backing soda last night to raise it up from 70)
So, my question is what do I start with to defeat this algae? I am going to go out and brush the pool, but what is the best way to start whipping my pool into shape?
Thank you to everyone for all the help.
The algae is on the back wall, steps and love seat.
