Rapid FC loss

[timmer21]

I’m getting close to being done with SLAM! Only lost 3 ppm FC in OTLC last night. Water is crystal clear and has been thru entire SLAM and CC is 0.

Awesome go on a treasure hunt for hidden algae. With a clear pool & overnight loss it’s hiding somewhere.

Maybe if you take photos of everything in your pool that isn’t a smooth surface we can help find something hidden?

My pool is fiberglass, very smooth with no square corners and has been brushed many times during the slam. I’ve taken the LED light out and scrubbed the niche. I’ve scrubbed the skimmer. Even taking the outside trim off. I’ve run the water feature for 2 days during the slam to flush that portion of the plumbing. I’ve even taken the return eyes apart to make sure there isn’t anything growing in them.

Have u removed the Weir door foam?

Algae Behind Weir Door

Forgive me TP'ers for I have sinned. It's been since my last confession. I've seen the advice often to check the foam on the weir door when having a tough SLAM. I dismissed this thinking it doesn't apply to me bc I imagined some foam stuff at the edge of the door, sort of like around a...

The pool installer never installed the weir door. It’s still in a drawer in my garage!

U should install it , without it the skimmer doesn’t effectively skim & when the pump goes off any debris in the skimmer will go back into the pool.

The planters are pretty but without a way to prevent their run off from getting into the pool you are contributing unnecessary organics to the water.

My pump runs 24/7. Installers wired it for low speed and the mechanical timer switches it to high speed for 3 hrs a day to run the Polaris pool sweep.

It'll still help your skimming action on the surface of the pool

Thank you TFP! Got my pool balanced before July 4th. Had a pool party planned. I boosted the FC to 8 that morning. With about 15-20 people in the pool all day and 100 degree day, this morning’s FC level was 3 and pool was sparkling clear! Brought FC up to 8. All is good!
