Hi-
I’m new to this site and maintaining my own pool, so forgive me if my terms are not correct. We have a saltwater pool that is 35k gallons with a connected hot tub.
I would have said for sure there is algae in my pool because of the green ‘dust’ clouds when I brush it. I ran an overnight test and passed, 5 drops after dark and 5 before sunrise.
Full disclosure: I tested the water yesterday and there was 0 chlorine. I added 1 gallon of 12.5% chlorine at about 5pm so that I could do the overnight test. We have been losing chlorine all season. My stabilizer is at the correct level last time I checked.
We also now ha e white flakes in the hot tub, I gave not checked the calcium levels yet. I will do that today.
Is there another test I should try? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks-
Genevieve
