Following this thread with interest as I too have been battling this. It has been windy here for about a week. Could it just be pollen being blown in? I don't know.
About 5 days ago I was at 6 ppm FC. Dumped 5 gallons of Cl into about 11000 gallons. pH was at 7.6. Pump has been on for 4 days circulating. SWG is off. Yesterday I was at 18 ppm FC. NO CC. Vaccing everyday and sometimes 2x a day. Water is clear but this stuff is accumulating at the bottom. Is there a definitive test for MA?
I read that MA likes a higher pH. That may have been my problem as I added some 20 Mule Team and forgot to adjust the pH. I was up to 8.0 prior to bringing it back down and then SLAMing. CYA was around 70.
Pulling my hair out on this one. It's been overcast for a few days now. No bright sun.
