I recently bought a home with a 20x40foot 40k gallon pool. http://imgur.com/a/36pqa
from what I have read here that with my chem balance I probably should just add a bunch of bleach until it maintains chlorine levels then brush the fire out of everything.
My chem dip stick test (brand new hth 6way strips) shows 0fc 8.4 pH 120-180 TA 100-200 total hardness with 200-300 CYA
the imgur link shows my setup. I have algae. I also want to know why I have a second pump. The chlorinator keeps 5+ 3 inch tablets and never makes a dent even turned to max flow. I suspect that I need to change sand in the sand filter so that is definitely on the agenda just wanted to clean the water up first. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
