I have a 16x30 12700 gallon with swg. I bought the pool app but not sure what I need to do. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum!
Can you give us the source of your pool water chemistry test results?

I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry and consider reviewing the entire Pool School eBook.

Color q it a aground pool

The color q tester has fcl and tcl that’s where I’m lost. Is the tcl the combined chlorine.

OK -- the TCL is the FC and CC added together. So the CC is TCL -FC.

Enter your data in the app. The results show no issues at this time.

Can you add a signature? See mine below for an example. If you are on a mobile device, turn it sideways to see the signatures.

Ty for the help. My numbers seem fine but I started getting algae on sides today.

Are you brushing the pool regularly?

 

[Homebrew3498]

No I have not been but I will start.

That should help. If your pool turns cloudy, plan to SLAM. I do not think the Colorq will work for FC above 10 ppm.
