Thanks so much! I will give this a try.

I’ve been performing the OCLT test every evening since I opened the pool and have and have not had any FC loss overnight since completing my slam (my slam did take a lot longer and I do believe algae was hiding somewhere but my persistent cleaning/scrubbing eventually got it). I did have a pool...

Yes, That is the test I use. 2.5ppm I can manage!!!! I’m thinking my CYA is not as high as I think. Maybe I’ll take a sample to the Pool Store so I can compare results.

Hi All, I have some questions and would love your feedback. 1. I have a liner pool, last year I didn’t pay attention to CH at all but I’m wondering if I should be testing and adjusting because I have a heater. If so, what is the ideal range? 2. Is there a better CYA test than the one in the...

It is cold and my heater is getting serviced on the 16th so I can’t even heat to get in. I see a wet suit in future 🤣.

Thank you. I have the same set up and trim pieces. I will take a close look at all of your suggested places and take close up pictures. I’m determined to find it.

You are right, I’m definitely missing something. I checked the ladder and there was nothing concerning but left it out for now. I’ll have to get out there tomorrow and examine again and maybe get a second set of yours that can see what I’m not. I’m pretty sure I’ve been thorough with the...

But if Mustard Algae is the problem, don’t I need to raise to MA level after the SLAM? I’m testing/ dosing 3x’s per day so that could be why it’s going slower like you suggested. Praying tonight is the night I pass the OCLT!!! Although, I lost 5ppm during the day which seems high so I’m not...

Thank you for saying that!!! I just ordered the speed stir because all this testing with the high number of drops is driving me crazy.

Thanks for sharing your story. I will definitely check out my ladder. I don’t think that would be the case because I didn’t install it until after I began my slam but maybe there is algae growing in there from last year that I’m unaware of????? Our pool lights are fibre optic and can’t be...

Hello! I live in the Northeast and just opened my pool on Sunday (second year, second time in my life 🤣). First thing I did was adjust my TA, PH and CYA to appropriate levels then began my SLAM. I’ve been brushing daily, vaccumed and cleaned the filter. My pool has been crystal clear for 3 days...
