Just trying to get away from following what our pool store is telling us. I just ordered a test kit k-2006 but for right now all I have are testing strips. I have been reading everything I can find on your website and still not sure what to do. On Monday we were told we had a phosphate problem so I followed the pool store treatment with phosphate liquid killer. Now after 48 hrs my stabilizer and FC readings are both 0. The Chlorine has been this low for weeks, not sure about the stabilizer because the store didn’t seem concerned about it. Last night we added 2 bags of powder shock ( 56% calcium hypochlorite) and 2/3 gallon of conditioner. I have the chlorine output at 100%. I know the CYA level would not register yet but the FC level has not gone up at all. I keep reading and trying to figure out what to do. We are still getting yellow algae all over the bottom of the pool which is why I went to the pool store originally. Please help me figure out where to start. We were going to add more stabilizer but then I read some threads about ammonia, so now I’m concerned that is also a problem. Please help!!
