New pool, no experience and had a SWG cell failure which I didn't recognize in time. This was brought to my attention when I took my water to be tested and was told I had no chlorine. Stupidly I said "well, it's a salt water pool so why would there be chlorine in it?".
Anyway, I've learned a few things since and have ordered a test kit which should arrive early this week. I've also ordered the parts for the SWG.
In the meantime I was given some helpful advice to add bleach to the pool so I've been doing that and retested (results below). However, the pool is still yellow. I think this is because I had my skimmer/drain and vacuum valves set wrongly, which I've hopefully rectified. I've tried to update my sig but was given no documentation on the pool so I'm kinda fumbling around trying to piece it together.
I've been brushing daily (upon brushing the yellow algae fluffs away but just settles elsewhere).
I should add that I had literally just added a gallon of bleach prior to taking the water sample, when i should've waited a while.
Is there anything else I can do in prior to my test kit and parts arriving? I have familiy visiting and would like the pool to be sorted.
I'm hoping those valves are set correctly now. The skimmer (left) was in the same position as the cleaner (middle) which i didn't move and the drain (right) was vertical (handle part to the bottom).
