The ones that test more than pH will need strips. The machine just reads the color.... Stick with the drops.

Hi. New to forums here. I have a pool cleaning route and I just added a local fountain in front of a commercial building. Anything I need to know about it? It is about 6 - 12 inches deep and pretty large. 30 ft by 80 ft maybe. It has basic equipment like a pool. Chlorinator, connections, skimmer, etc. I have not seen the filter yet. I am hoping I can treat it as a pool and adjust the balance like a pool. It is flat with about 6 fountains that shoot up into the air and back into the pool. It seems they have used a maintenance guy to take care of it. It is light green with algea in the bottom. But it looks like they have shocked it recently. Most of the algea is dead on the floor. Any advice is appriciated. Thanks.
