OMG ya'll - I SO totally was all over my husband tonight about this debacle LOL. Do you KNOW what he Came.Home.With? After ALL this and me sending him the links for the test??????? A STRIP FC KIT FROM LESLIE'S?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!! I about clocked him and dragged him out to the pool to drown!
Bwhahaha!
Hang in there, the pool will be in check soon enough. Be glad you didn't have mustard algae (I'm dealing with it right now but I know
my pool will be perfect within a week from what I learned here / done before)
So you are in your SLAM process now.
Three things will indicate you are done with the pool algae and go full force on the hot tub:
1. you pass the OCLT 2 days in a row (one time is not enough as it may go up again the next day)
2. your combined chlorine is .5 or less
3. your water is clear.
Just keep it up to shock level and brushing daily...soon it will be over and much easier to manage provided the
chlorine isn't allowed to slip below minimal levels again.
