Good deal.

My kit is in. A few green spots yesterday. I brushed and vacuumed yesterday. Chlorine look 6 with old kit. I'm ready to rid this algae forever. Please help.

CH level?

With algae, and a CYA level of 70+, you need to maintain FC levels of 15 - 20 ppm. If you have mustard algae, even higher levels are required.

Watch the videos, and redo any tests you overlooked or might have done incorrectly: FC, CC, pH, TA, CH & CYA.
