I have a mesh cover. Rain water and much dust and pollen pass through. I probably add/replace 1/4 of my water with rain water and snow.
my pool started turning green and I hit it with 2 gallons of 10 % bleach. The water looks clear, it’s cold and I can see dust covering the bottom.
I thrown in a little giant pump to move the water.
when I tested the water I got 3 ppm chlorine, 60 alk, 180 cal, and above 8 PH.
is there something about the above scenario that makes the PH read higher then it really is? Dead algae?
can I trust that reading?
should I add acid or wait until I open the pool clean it and retest?
