Should SLAM now?

[TJTJ]

Last summer we were fighting green algae all summer long, mainly by brushing the pool. CYA was at 125, tested by pool store. End of summer we located forum and purchased tf-100 test kit. Have lowered CYA to 70 and hope to lower to 50 by the end of rainy season (April 1) My question is should we perform slam before the algae returns in the summer? I'm not sure the algae will return, might just be dormant as it is not warm. Water temp. probably around 50 degrees now. I'm no longer using the 3" pucks and am using 8.25% chlorine bleach. Water has always been clear and the FC is kept around 10. Just not sure if the algae will return. Does keeping the FC at appropriate levels prevent algae? Or do we have to kill the algae via shocking the pool (SLAM)
Hope I am making sense to the forum and any answers will be appreciated. Thanks. TJ

If you have algae hiding, it will return.

How about a full set of test results and what is your water temperature?

 

[TJTJ]

these test results were performed on Sunday. Not sure of exact water temperature, guessing around 45 to 50 degrees. Test results were as follows.
FC 10
CC 0
TC 10
PH 7.5
TA 90
CH 325
CYA 70

How clear is the water?

very clear, has always looked good.

I would leave it for now then. There's no indictation of a problem with your numbers or clarity.

However, if you start seeing issues as the water warms, check behind your lights, ladders, and any other low circulation areas for hidden algae.
