    Green Cloudy Pool for Two Weeks

    You should probably pull the steps out and check them. They could be packed with algae underneath and may be part of the problem with the water not clearing.

    Did you purge and refill recently? My spa usually leaks after a purge for about a week and then it stops.

    FC Very Slow to Come Down Following SLAM

    Hopefully you haven't been staying out of the pool because your FC is at 9.5 currently. It's safe up until SLAM level for your CYA.

    How aggressive should I be to get TA below 100? Aeration hacks?

    I'm gonna say your TA is fine and just watch and adjust the PH with MA. When PH gets near 8, lower it to 7.2ish.

    Hot Tub and Taylor Test Kit
