Good test Bad Water-how?

[Maureen03]

Can anyone explain to me how all my numbers can be within range yet color was slightly off? Within the past several days (don’t go by my most recent test results-I let the chlorine drop) I had been slamming because of algae (don’t think it was mustard- just regular). Passed tests. Keep on passing tests but pool does not look right. I thought some of my chemicals maybe were older expired so I bought new ones (Amazon). I don’t know if they could have been bad? Or is it not uncommon to be able to see something wrong when the test kit says the numbers are within range? Perhaps I messed up refilling bottles. I really don’t want to buy a new kit but will if you think so.

What are you seeing in the water? Can you post a picture?

Also, can you post up a current set of test results? I looked at your PoolMath logs but the most recent was from a month ago.

One of the criteria is clear water. If the water doesn't look correct then I wouldn't say that it's clear, so you didn't pass that test.
