Ugh! Getting frustrated. Had solar cover on a few days and found algae after taking it off. I've been maintaining a really high chlorine level to prevent this. Don't understand how the algae is surviving. It has me questioning if I'm testing correctly. Here's a video of my chlorine test last evening...
And here's a video of what I assume is the algae...
Slammed a couple weeks ago, and maintained higher than suggested chlorine levels since. Maybe poor circulation is contributing? Skimmer and return jet are on same side of pool, 4-5ft apart which I know isn't ideal. Pool seems to stay the cleanest if the return is aimed straight out and down a tad. Water is crystal clear, I'm running pump 24hrs and rinsing filter daily.
I brushed the algae last night and it dissolves with 2 swipes of brush.
