I transitioned to the BBB method of pool care about 3 months ago and also purchased TF100 test kit. I went on a business trip last week and neglected to add the appropriate amount of bleach in my pool to account for my time away. Sure enough I came back to some green algae stains. Hence I began the SLAMMING process last Friday. My CYA is 70 and pH was 7.2 so I raised my FC to 30 (target 28). Twice daily I brushed the pool, ran my Tigershark, checked the skimmer, monitored my pump pressure, and tested the FC, adding bleach whenever it dropped below 28. The big mystery for me is that while the pool appears clear I still have the occasional visible green algae stain and when I brush the liner more, what appears to be algae, gets stirred up. I have a sand filter and changed the sand at the beginning of this season. Any ideas as to why I am now going on a week and still having algae issues? Or am I just being impatient? Thanks in advance for your input/advice. This site is truly awesome! -Justin
