It think it is gray in color. The part about brushing when added in LC is good to know. 1 gallon today of LC between 10 am and around 2:30.

It may be dead algae. It basically disintegrates with any movement next to it. 70 was after several big water changes. It had to have been through the roof before I started this process and had obtained a good test kit. My original plan was to have a local guy I knew take care of the pool...

Still slamming. The water looks great but I keep getting growth on the bottom. It is a sunny hot day here today so she is eating up some free chlorine. Should I check my CYA again today? I haven't checked anything but FC since I got the PH down to 7.2 and started the SLAM.
