OK so I’ve owned my 30,500 gal inground pool for over 10 years. I’ve always used a TFP test kit & calculator. And it kept me going this long with crystal clear water and no issues. About a month ago I got some algae and after getting my chlorine level up to around 28 and maintaining that for about 3 to 4 days and sweeping the pool daily I finally had crystal clear water. With in about 4 to 5 days later my chlorine is back to normal to low range of around four. We’ve had a little rain over the past two weeks nothing drastic but I have added probably around 10 bags of salt over the past two weeks which is not normal. Because my system was telling me my salt level was around 2800 and I usually keep it at 3200 to 3400. Algae is back! at this point I am very much burnt and tired of jacking with this swimming pool. So I added three bags of shock and swept it Friday. Had my cell & water tested Saturday. My cell was the problem the whole time, probably going on two months and my salt at 5900. Placed an order for a new sale yesterday however it will not be here for 3 to 5 days. Without risking and losing complete control of my water what do you guys recommend I do till my new cell comes in? Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Also I’d like to get opinions on the sale that I bought from the salt pool store, the platinum edition for the T-15 replacement?
