    Algae blooming nearly weekly. I can’t afford the chlorine anymore

    Is the OCLT the overnight test? I was thinking it needed to be clear first. I’m keeping my FC at 10-12. Haven’t worried about other numbers as I’m in a SLAM. I’m new so tell me if that’s not right. I am getting new liner in spring so wondering just how bad it would be if I close it cloudy.

    Closing pool and getting new liner in spring

    So is the silt from the dichlor or is it algae?

    Oh sorry now it’s making more sense. Yes that quick PH test is the only one. Are you saying it’s not super accurate? i don’t. This is all so new to me. I have the bleach but was waiting for testing kit to get supplies.

    I did the other chlorine test in the kit, not the easy quick one. Thanks for your help. I need to go read about SLAM.

    Hello! I am new here. Just got my test kit today and tested my water. Issue I am currently struggling with is cloudiness and some strange silt on bottom of pool. Picture of my robot just to show the cloudiness and then pic of the silt. My pool is much better than it has been. I’ve been brushing...
