It's nice to have this support ,thanks. I tested the chlorine and it was higher than 5.4 but I may have used more than 1ml. So the chlorine is good and the test kit must be OK. Just did a water test,there is no chlorine smell but I did see a trace of algae near the step.The water is clear. Do I need to put more liquid in???
Chlor = 4.0 (was 5.0 yesterday)
PH = 7.2 added box of Borax
CYA = 60 (it was at 70)

You need to get it up to shock level and hold it there until the water clears and until the algae is gone. You'll know when it's time to let it drift back down when you can measure chlorine at night and in the morning before the sun is on the pool, and not have more than a 1 ppm drop between the two measurements.
