    Thanks for the help! I'll treat with bleach, test, and throw a submersible pump in to help circulate. In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have closed it yet. Every spring our pool is crystal clear when we open it. I'd hate to open a nasty green mess, if I can keep from it!

    Just make sure the submersible pump is grounded and your are plugging into a circuit with a GFCI.

    Let us know your numbers when you test. You may want to keep an eye on it for a bit to make sure that nothing got started in there.

    I was out of town for a few days, so now I'm gonna have to treat with bleach to get the algae bloom under control. Thankfully our temps are cooling down now.
