Hello Folks!
We fired the pool guy at the beginning of the year. My GF and I have been doing a good job at cleaning and thought we were good on chemicals. Lately we have been trying to get rid of mustard algae and have been getting beat. The mustard algae was present when we fired the pool guy but it has been persistent.
We thought we would be good with the Clorox chlorine tabs/shock with testing Leslie's AccuBlue.
Keeping the pool clean and clear really hasn't been a problem. We are good with sweeping, skimming and emptying the baskets.
So far two rounds of Yellow Out and shock, Pool RX, lots of sweeping, vacuuming to waste, just threw in PoolRX Booster a couple of days ago and we still have the sandy stuff coming back.
From what I've learned here so far is our CYA could be part of the issue. AccuBlue test from 4/13 says 68.
7.4 FC and 7.4 for TAC (CC)
We have really liked the AccuBlue tests but not completely sold on it. Every time we test we have to get it to connect to the app. Gets really frustrating having to do that.
My GF Veronica told me to check out SLAM.
So here I am going down the rabbit hole to learn more. Liquid Chlorine!
Any help or encouragement would be welcome!
