What To Do First

urgent

Raise free chlorine

Add liquid chlorine/shock today, run the pump, and brush visible algae spots.

Latest strip photo estimates free chlorine at 0.5-1 ppm. That is too low for warm, outdoor pool water.
watch

Salt is getting low

Put salt on the shopping list and recheck after the next pump/chlorinator cycle.

Average salt is 3256 ppm; instant salt is 3034 ppm.
watch

Algae risk is elevated

Brush suspicious dark spots and keep sanitizer up; add a phosphate test when you can.

warm water up to 88F, salt is 3256 ppm, free chlorine is 0.5-1 ppm. Latest strip photo: FC 0.5-1 ppm, pH 7.6-7.8, CYA 30-50 ppm; phosphates not measured.
info

Alkalinity is on the high side

Watch pH drift; this is secondary to getting free chlorine back up.

Latest strip photo estimates total alkalinity at 120-180 ppm.
info

Rain may have nudged chemistry

Quick strip check is worthwhile if the water looks off.

Tempest measured about 0.68 in of rain in the last 24 hours.
