Hello Fellow Pool Owners, this is my first post and I am a novice but hopefully a quick learner. I didn't read many posts yet, just finished school. I've had this big nice in ground pool for several years without too much trouble. This year, yikes! I noticed the DE filter never really got cleaned during backwash as indicated by the clean pressure always being 5-7 psi higher than the opening pressure, but I actually don't think I can do the dis-mantling and washing by myself so I just keep backwashing. Happy DE isn't too expensive. Then yellow algae cycle of shocking, vacuuming, it goes away and I love my pool and then 2 days later, algae. So, I am ready to do the SLAM deal and off to get a test kit. Where is the best place ( 'aka cheapest') to buy the chlorine? My most recent numbers :
FC =0.7
CYA = 97
TC=1.1
pH = 7.9
Any other advice on the SLAM and just getting my pool cheaper and easier to maintain would be most appreciated. btw, we are in a triple digit heatwave for the Philly suburbs! Not the best for pools but everyone is so desperate to be in one
