I was successful in ridding the pool of the black algae and am now working to rebalance the chemicals. Based on some photos I've seen of the black algae, I am lucky I noticed it early and tackled it like crazy with LC and scrubbing. I used a lot of LC during this process. I've been noticing though that my FC doesn't last long from one day to the next. The water looks clean and clear. I assume because my CYA is at 30 and the direct sun hitting the pool, hot temps and humidity, I assume this is why my FC is decreases daily.
Today's readings are:
FC 3
PH 8
CYA 30
TA 60
I plan to increase my CYA to 50, then PH to 7.2, and FC back up to 8. Should this help my FC last longer? I want to be sure I am taking the correct steps. thanks.
