    Perfectly balanced pool with algae bloom

    I’ve never thought of this before until you both made the explanation. Makes perfect sense. Guess I figured the fc would kill everything once circulated. Will definitely circulate during rain over night.

    Perfectly balanced pool with algae bloom

    The pump runs from 8 am to 6 pm. The fc is maintained between 6 and 9 ppm. The cya did drop to 50 with all the draining. We had about 5 inches of rain in the past three days. If anything the fc was too high for the cya levels.

    Perfectly balanced pool with algae bloom

    I’m assuming that with a week full of heavy rain and about three pool drains to get water level correct it would not be uncommon to see algae forming even with chlorine levels constantly at a 8ppm, salt, cya 60 and above?

    Should I uncover my pool now?

    I uncover when water temp is 50. If I need to add chemicals prior to uncovering I blow air through the main drain to mix.
