Water circulating before testing?

Keep the filter running. The chlorine kills the algae, but the filter removes it from the water, and sometimes it can take awhile, depending on how bad your algae bloom was.

With a CYA of 90, you need to keep your chlorine in the 5-10 range. However, your CYA is on the upper end of that range, so I would keep the chlorine closer to 8-12 if it were my pool.

When I asked when it is safe to swim, a moderator answered "when it's clear" and "when the ppm doesn't drop more than 1ppm.....". I'm assuming the chlorine levels must go down to the 8-12 range first, but did she mean when it wasn't green any more or when the water is no longer cloudy? The kids miss the pool greatly!!!
