ok got a 6 way test kit by HTC. heres my results as of this morning. The bottom and corners are all covered with this algae once again. Readings are before vacuuming.
TC 1-2
Ph 6.8
Alk 40 ppm
Hardness 110 ppm
CYA I did the test as stated. mixed the 7ml of water with the additional 7ml of re agent. Mixed for 30 seconds, pours slowly into the tube with the black dot at the bottom. it was still crystal clear all the way up to the top reading of 30..... the mixture is supposed to be cloudy and you take a reading when the black dot disappears from looking down on the top of the tube. The mixture is not a bit cloudy.
So....what do you guys think ? Im about to go vacuum to waste and get all the algae out of the pool once again. Also... I forgot to mention, my pool sits in the 100 plus degree Texas sun every day withno shade until around 7pm every night.
