Hello - My pool has been looking very good so far this year but I noticed some rust colored algae spots this morning.
My testing from yesterday was:
PH - 7.8
TA - 70
FC - 5.0
CC - 0.5
CYA - 70
CH - 460
Salt - 3000
Temp - 92
CSI - 0.13
We are now in the 100's with this weekend being 114 and 113 degrees. Do I need to up the FC and CYA a little now we are in the heat of summer out here (my SWG is programmed to 50% output). ?
I have some Leslies Fresh and Clear (fast acting non-chlorine oxidizing shock). Would that be good to use to speed up getting rid of the algae? I think it's algae since our water has no copper, etc in it and I also had this rust type spot last year.
Also, now that we are using the pool our normally zero CC has been 0.5. Is Pool Perfect plus Phos Free the right product to lower this down? I have a few bottles left from last summer.
Thanks! Lisa
