What To Do First

urgent

Add salt

Grab salt and add based on your pool volume/chlorinator guidance.

Average salt is 3039 ppm, below the 3100 ppm alert floor.
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 falling

If this continues after rain stops, plan to add salt.

Average salt moved from 3205 ppm to 3039 ppm in the recent samples.
watch

Algae risk is elevated

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

warm water up to 87F, 1.33 in rain over 72 hours, UV up to 9.52, salt is 3039 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.
