Thanks for the advice proavia and Texas Splash, I removed the PoolRX. With that said, I will still have a pool company come do opening and closings. Besides not using algaecide, what other best practices are there to tell them if I'm using the TFP method? I always find opening to be a bit of a...

Got it, just got finished doing everything. At least it was a learning lesson, I had never opened up the filter before! Crossing my fingers that was the end of this, but will also do OCLT tonight as well.

Side question - Will I need to add DE now that I've drained the DE filter (did not hose off or remove cartridges)? - - - Updated - - - We only use the company for open/close, never had the issue before and I doubt they added anything extra...never heard of that sort of thing before...

I just opened up the filter to take a look, this is my first time doing so, but I don't see anything green and it looks normal as far as I can tell. Here's some pics (I believe the blue is from the mineral purifier I use (http://poolrx.com/store-idea/)). Let me know what you think...

I will point out that I never did a backwash during the SLAM process (it was 2 or 3 days I believe). Guess I should double check the grids just to be safe, as well as try another OCLT. Question - If the chemicals were balanced, but there happened to be some residual stuff on the grids, wouldn't...

I have not done that, no. We had just had the pool company replace all the grids right before I did the SLAM...the pressure is normal. Do you think that's necessary? Sure:

It's a bit stringy, not sure it's moss, but what do I know lol. Don't think it's anything blowing into the water, it has never happened before and between yesterday and today there was really no wind. We don't have a lot of stuff around our pool. If this is somehow generating in the pool, but...

I recently went through the SLAM process and my water is now crystal clear and chemicals stay balanced. There is 0 CC, and does not come back up between days. The odd thing, is I am finding this sort of stringy looking green algae in the skimmer basket on a daily basis: Nothing else around...
