Came back from a two day vacation to a lovely shade of light green pool.
I’m struggling with my FC levels during the day. I’d bump my FC up to the max recommendation level, only for it to dip below the minimum threshold by evening. I had no one to add chlorine for me for the 24 hours I was gone, so I bumped by FC up to 20 before I left (aug 12). Pool turned green between the 12th around 10 pm when I left and the 14th at dinner time when I returned.
I’m currently on day 2.5 of SLAM (started the evening of the 14th). Haven’t let FC get below 15.5, keeping it at 20 and testing at least 3-4x a day.
Pool is barely getting better. Water is clear but teal. Husband is getting impatient with me and wants to use dichlor shock and I’m telling him absolutely not with our CYA at 50.
Am I on the right track?
