Hmmmmm? I don't see a pic, but it sounds like regular algae. A SLAM process is what's in order!!

Thanks for the info! I am going to try this when I get home. So I'll first leave the black to black and red to red connected and run it with the whites disconnected?
Flow switch has 4 wires on cells manufactured before September 2018:But if that doesn't work and when I do the resistor, am I connecting it to the black and white coming from cell itself, not the flow switch black and white, correct? Thanks again.
Yes, but it is easy to recover. The only other alternative is Reverse Osmosis treatment. I'm not recommended any of these, but the service is available...In Nevada no question we have hard water, but with a test at 1100 the advice was drain 61% of pool volume. Isn’t that going to throw off all other settings? Is there any other alternative?
Sorry I must of done something wrong. I retest my clorine and have FC 5 and TC of 5 according to my Taylor k-2005Could you clarify how you are getting that result? Because that's not possible.
I had little concern about draining my pool due to the geology of my area and the placement of the pool on my property. It does have a hydrostatic relief valve but it's currently put back in because I'd rather drain the water back out of the pool as I pressure wash it rather than flood the ground under my pool and risk creating a hollow spot.How did you feel draining the pool fully, regarding the pool popping or floating out? Did you know the relief valve existed before hand and pull it will draining? Did you only pull it after it was already drained?
SWG has 0 to minimal impact on pH rise. Your TA is the cause of the rise. Your Evap rate and water replacement with high TA is what you are fighting.Fill water with a moderately high TA is probably contributing to the problem, here in the desert southwest.

Thanks again.Disconnect the white wire and run the cell and see what the cell temperature reads.
If the cell does not work that way, get a 10K resistor and connect it between the black and white wires instead of the wires in the black cable. Cell temperature should read 76F. If it does not than the board in the cell is bad.
Could you clarify how you are getting that result? Because that's not possible.My current FC is 7.5 and I have a TC at 5.
So something like this?It is the largest residential cartridge filter which is great.
One suggestion is to purchase new filters (it’s a quad setup) and then start fresh.
You can soak the old filters in a solution of TSP. Then you have an exchange set which makes cleaning your filter much easier and quicker.
