Hi again folks,
I dont know what is going on with my pool but I continually seem to have small green algae outbreaks on a far too regular basis. I don't know how it can take hold when my FC levels are what they are. This problem has been on and off over the last 2 years and is driving me a bit crazy.
Test results are as follows
FC 5
pH 7.2
TA 110
CH 275
CYA 65
And with all that above today I pulled of the pool blanket to see green algae kicking off again.
I'm at a loss what to do next, I've given the pool a brush (which stirred up all the algae) Have vacuumed, added a bit of liquid chlorine, and have the Pool pump running manually to give the water a good filter.
A few weeks ago I slammed the pool and it looked great and I know FC levels have not dropped below 4.5 but even then I'm almost back at where I started and its very frustrating.
Appreciate any ideas. Do I need to run my pump longer? Should I run an even higher FC level than 5ppm?
