Yeah, I can test the pH when the pool gets below shock level again. Unfortunately, that is happening all too often. The data for the last two days is below. The FC level did not drop by 10 ppm at any point, so hopefully we are good there. The CC readings are off the charts though. Not feeling good about that. On a positive note, the pool water color has started to change to more blueish. I could not attach more pictures because they exceed my quota.
On a side note, have you ever heard of a product called "Green To Clean"? I have heard very good things about it, as it is not an algaecide, but a sanitizer that works with the chlorine.
