I didnt know if I should post this under swg, pool chemistry, or just being a knuckle head. So feel free to move it.
Ok the stats. New pool of course. 27500 gal swg.

cya I only have test strips :{ I used pool calculator when setting up to determine how much of everything to add. Seems I overshot the mark on the alkalinity and hardness. The cya tested with a strip between 50 and 100 a week after adding. Now down to 50 maybe less depending on how you look at the strip.
Here is my issue. A couple weeks ago I forgot about the hose and overfilled the pool. Pumped out a couple inches and was letting mother natures evaporation take care of the rest. Well yesterday we got a couple inches of rain and now the skimmer is below the surface again. After my first pump out I lost salt and threw my levels out of whak, well worse than what they are currently. I am looking at the forcast and it looks fairly dry for the next several days. Should I go ahead and pump it down or just wait.
I have had a lot more seddiment on the floor since the skimmer has not worked too well. At least I hope its not algea it looks like fine brown dirt in the corners. Some of it doesnt vaccum up very easily, and now is leaving a slight stain in the liner after vaccuming. There is a big field of dirt not too far away from the pool; left over from construction, so I know that any wind will bring dirt into the pool. Is it dirt or algea?
Knuckle head right?
