Thanks to both of you. Yes, the pool looks great. Clear as can be. Unfortunately that pool store is the only place I can get my water tested until I get Ben's kit. I couldn't find a decent test kit anywhere in town, and all the 7way kits I found online are out of stock.

I did put a bottle of copper based algaecide in the pool about a month ago; so I guess it's safe to assume that there really is copper in the water. I just didn't know if it will dissipate or not.
