Crisis Averted, not.

**Update** Started SLAM. Good morning TFP family. We have green algae. We’ve had a lot of rain and I let our chlorine level slip too low, less than 1%. Immediately attacked it with increased chlorine levels, backwashing, brushing. we run our pump 24/7, and the Dolphin about 9 hours a day all week. We have no trees and little debris but I felt it would help with the circulation. Performed overnight chlorine loss today. Here are my numbers:
TA 90
CYA 70
FC 12 (No loss overnight)
CC 0
CH 200
Salt 3000
PH 7.6
Pool has been cloudy but I can see some slight improvement this morning. I’ve included a picture this morning which includes my furry inspector. Any comments or suggestions going forward are welcomed!

You might also consider a sand deep clean at some point if it hasn't been done before. No OCLT loss is great, but something is still a bit off based on that photo. Don't let up just yet.

Deep Cleaning a Sand Filter

This post will walk you through the anatomy of a sand filter, and then provide a video at the end for how to deep clean your sand filter. The filter used in the photos and videos is a Hayward S180T top mount sand filter. The images are of a similar filter. Obviously not all filters are...

Thank you for the video. The filter is less than a year old.

SLAM completed. 3 full days, 4 nights. 28 ppm LC / CYA was at 70. Passed all three completion criteria on Wednesday. I had to keep telling myself to be patient and stick to the process and it paid off.
