Thanks for the in info PoolDoc!

Currently the pool is nice and blue. I am working my salt level back up as what was stated earlier. I added a dose of algaecide earlier in the week and currently no algae present.

Great!

Just because you don't see algae doesn't mean it's not waiting to grow--make sure you're keeping adequate levels of chlorine in the pool, or it will soon be green and swampy.....algaecide alone won't work!

With the right level of chlorine and algacide this should keep the algae at bay right? Based on the PoolDoc's comment, get the chlorine level where it needs to be then maintain that level with the SWCG? I do appreciate everyones help with this and also ways of saving money in keeping the pool sparkly clean!

Good morning folks!

I added 5 gallons of 6% bleach yesterday evening and this morning the chlorine level is between the 5-10 range according to my HTH tester. Brushed pool as instructed and turned the SWCG back on for I will be leaving the home for the day. I will check late tonight to see results.

Pool still looking good thanks to the help here! You folks are awesome! Have a great day!
