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 3200 ppm; instant salt is 3095 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, UV up to 11.23, salt is 3200 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

Nearby lightning detected

If the controller starts reporting bad status after this, inspect equipment before trusting latched values.

Tempest saw 1440 strike(s) in 24 hours; closest recent distance was 1 mi.
