Can I run my heater when PH is that high? I am also worried that once I do turn on the heater, algae will return as it may be harboring in heater plumbing since its been dormant for a few weeks. Cooler nights/mornings are beginning...
Yes, the valves are turned to bypass the heater when its not running.. Does that make a difference with it possibly containing algae?Water still runs through the heater core when it is off unless you turned valves to bypass the heater. There will be no algae hiding in the heater.
You can run your heater during the SLAM Process

Manually shut off to bypass. Before switching to BBB, we used an auto chlorinator with tabs. The plumbing still runs through the empty chlorinator. I'll try to get all the specific info for the signature later today.Valves turned automatically by automation or manually?
It would really help us if details of your pool was in your signature. What automation do you have?

Not completely sure, hubby did all the plumbing and cleans/maintains the equipment. I just thought the fresh chlorine couldn't go through the heater, so he directed me to always shut off water flow through the chlorinator (which now sits empty since we do BBB method) and then let water flow through the heater only when its heating. We use it mostly ar beginning and wnd of season, and a solar cover at night (Indiana climate) I'm trying to attach photo of our set up, but it says the file is too large.Just open the heater bypass to allow water to run through it.
Why do you bypass the heater when not running it?
