    Chlorine level is very high....BEAUTIFUL shade of dark yellow. pH, on the other hand is quite low. I used both the OTO and the 6 way strips and had it tested at my local pool store...they also told me alkalinity and pH were both very low and their prescription was 10# alkalinity increaser and 2# pH invader...which I have NOT done yet. I have 2 boxes of borax, some stabilizer, and the remainder of the pool chemicals from last year listed above. My water is no longer green, but is cloudy and there are dark spots on the floor of the pool. Next step?

    I forgot to give you the levels...duh! pH is at about 7.2, alkalinity is somewhere between 0-40.
