Also, my profile shows i have this saved so idk why it’s not showing up 22k inground (no water features) Vinyl liner 2 returns/ jets Triton sand filter (Zeolite) Century 1-1/2 hp pump Polaris booster pump

So, I’m still fighting this. I kept thinking I’m gonna get it bc I normally do not give up on things. I’ve tried everything… SLAMMED for mustard algae when not slamming for regular algae. Pump running 24/7. Took light out, cleaned niche, light is still sitting on pool deck, as I’ve been...

Thanks, okay I’ll do that. Also, regarding the pump cycling… I see my Kreepy Krauly cleaner is barely moving sometimes and it has a BRAND NEW booster pump

So same problem as last year only have a new liner this year. Cannot pass my OCLT for over a week now. Upon installation, installer said the main drain screw holes were stripped. Said that would put us back couple more weeks for him to return plus add around $1500. He said we didn’t...

Following this as I have exact same problem only do not have SWG

So I was gone over the weekend and had my husband add chlorine in morning and evening. He doesn’t do testing so I just went with what I have been adding. Only thing that has changed is looks like the spots in morning seem a darker color than used to be. And just this morning, I wondered if...

Also, there was a couple new black specks this morning inside skimmer entry but not as much dead algae, or whatever it is, on the pool floor as has been. Also, my OCLT passed as far as chlorine- 1.0 ppm FC loss with 0 CC

For whatever reason, it’s says my file is too large to post more pics, even if I try 1 at a time. Nothings changed on my phone since yesterday. I’ll try again later

We’ll never thought if it being the DE… I dissolve it in warm water before slowly pouring into skimmer. I’ll look into getting weir door. Yes we have talked a lot about what to do for better drainage. We have a sump pump about 10’ away from pool on deep end. I think it it should have been...

Will do… I did the box but not screw heads

Googled weir door… we do not have one. When examining skimmer looks like there are notches for one but there wasn’t one when we moved here. Also when examining, looking for said weir door… I see these tiny black spots… could they be the cause of all this? I rubbed them with my fingers and...

Also, we have Zeolite(name?) as a medium if that matters

we have not deep cleaned filter. I have been backwashing and adding a little DE to try to pick up the fine stuff. Also, what is the weir door?

Also, I need to add… the pool definitely feels like there is water behind liner nearly all the way around. We’re not losing any more water than any other 95-100 degree day but could there possibly be a leak and algae is growing under/behind the liner therefore constantly there??

I’ve been trying to put up to SLAM level + 1 to be safe

Along left side of homemade patch is where it collects, then in the tread of stairs, some along seams. Today there are 3 or 4 baseball size clumps above and to right if drain… that is what one pic is

Using Taylor K-2006 test kit Was testing 4 or 5 times/ day when started SLAM, now usually just morning and evening. Using liquid chlorine (12.5%) unless I run out then use Walmart’s pool chlorine ( supposed to be 10%). I do change value on the calculator according to which percentage I’m...

Also Taylor K-2006 test kit

Sorry meant to post that: As of 7:30am this morning- FC 14.0 CC.5 pH. 8.0 TA 125 CYA 35 I know pH and TA too high and also need to bring up CYA, correct? But just trying to pass OCLT first , and have no algae dead or alive

Been a pool owner about 6 years, learned a lot on this forum. Been SLAMming and fighting algae for over a month now. I seriously feel like Bill Murray in “Caddyshack” and algae is the gopher! Our pool floated couple years ago.. it does every year.. ripped at the drain. Pool guy supposedly...
