So this is my second year with the pool and have never had any problems with it. Been using TFP method since day 1 and the water has always been crystal clear. The past few weeks have been lots of thunderstorms and rain. This caused me to neglect the pool a bit and not keep the FC high enough. When we went to swim last weekend, I opened the solar cover and saw smudges of algae on the bottom and cloudy water.
I immediately though, "Aha! This is what TFP has trained me for!" I immediately started SLAMing. Vacuumed first, then brushed, then raised FC. Since I caught it early I think, I passed the OCLT after the 2nd day. After that, the water was still a bit cloudy, so I double up the hairnets on the skimmer and added a little DE to the sand filter to assist with filtration. A few days later, crystal clear again!
Thanks TFP!
