Just started testing my own pool. My pool currently is very cloudy and has some algae developing.

FC .5
CC .5
PH under 7.0, shows up yellow
alk 30ppm
ch 90 ppm
cya 35 ppm

Using taylor k-2006. Please advise how to best increase my numbers.

15000 gallon diamond brite
 
Bleach or liquid chlorine is the best way to increase FC quickly. Use Poolmath to calculate to how much to add. Chlorine level is set based on CYA and the [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA]. Keep it at target at all times. If FC drops below minimum the pool becomes u sanitary and algae can begin to grow.

To kill the algae you need to follow this process, SLAM Process

It is important to maintain PH between 7.2 and 7.8 at all times to prevent damage to your pool and equipment.
