Good morning:
I can’t find any other problems. I perform the OCLT frequently and it is at most .5 ppm loss, the CC is always zero to at most .2 ppm and the water is always blindingly sparkling, clear and beautiful. All my numbers are near perfect and my FC never falls to 4 ppm or below with a CYA no higher than 50 ppm (seems closer to 40, room for error).
There is never any visible alga (and there hasn’t been in 11 years) EXCEPT; there is always a battle of green algae that gets in all the nooks and crannies of our removable, PVC, above ground pool ladder. No matter how well I maintain sanitation, if I do not physically get in the water and brush all the holes, it will be back in a week, always has. I have always believed this to be a circulation problem not a CL problem but the advice here is to shock (at 20ppm!) whenever I see algae. So in essence I need to shock every week. Back to old school I guess.
FC = 5.0
CC = .2
pH = 7.6
TA = 120
CH = 260
CYA = 50
OCLT = ~ .5
PS. The ladder is not designed to be removed frequentlyit will ruin it. Removing and sanitizing is not the answer.
Thank you.
