Dirt and algie
Re: Dirt and algie
No CYA test.
I just added muriatic to reduce my ph...will report back in a bunch of hours.
Algae blooming like crazy after vac to waste. I dont think its pollen. It has to be mustard algae. I did read that thread with 4 posts on it.[img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180622/6037b60e596e5d2d64e4cfa022c74ed9.jpg[/img]

The pH doesn't matter in the presence of CYA stabiliser provided it's more than 6.9. CYA is the most important level in a pool so you need an accurate test for it.

I have to buy a test kit for CYA.

Get a decent FAS/DPD test kit (Taylor K2006C or TF100)
They will give you all the tests you need to do exceot for salt
