Hi, I've been reading here for over a year (I think I've read almost everything at this point) but never posted. I have an Intex Ultra Frame 20x52 circular AGP. Last year we used the pool for a month or so before developing algae, I dumped loads of chlorine in before we gave up and took it down. This year we decided to try a SWG and a larger pump. We got this setup: http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home/above-ground-pools/agp-accessories/saltwater-system/56677eg.html
Long story short is I contacted Intex after the SWG would not stop showing code 90 (low flow) and they are sending us a new flow sensor. My problem is I have a full pool, no one has been in it, but I can't run the pump without the SWG and I'm afraid of developing algae again. I have no idea how long it will take Intex to get the replacement sensor to me and in the mean time I have a full pool that no one can swim in. I have the Taylor K-2006 test kit, I've read the book but to be completely honest I am COMPLETELY intimidated and have no clue what I'm doing with it. I hate to waste any of it as it wasn't cheap. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, regarding testing, do I need a dedicated salt water test kit in addition to the other kit? I thought I did but just need to be sure.
