I've been using the overpriced TF-100 for my results. TF-100 OCTL = 0 It's yellow algae (mustard algae) when I brush it, it billows up into yellow dust clouds not slime. We are near the beach and the Atlantic, which is probably the source (beach toys, bathing suits...). SLAM has given me worse...

TF-100 OCTL = 0 It's yellow algae (mustard algae) when I brush it, it billows up into yellow dust clouds not slime. We are near the beach and the Atlantic, which is probably the source (beach toys, bathing suits...). SLAM has given me worse results than in the past when I used cheap test...

Thank you for the feedback. What is a POP point? I've been testing morning and night about 10hrs apart and since I started slam I have only tested for FC, should I test for anything else during the SLAM? I have not dosed anymore because my SLAM was supposed to be 20 and after first dose it...

Thank you Texas Splash I really appreciate the assurance! If my slam number went over (slam = 20) after day one fc = 30 what should I do?

I purchased WM chorine and I was yellow, I expected clear, is this is normal or did it go bad? Also, I way overshot my FC slam level (20) and ended up with 30 holding steady overnight but with a worse looking water, yellow and it lost clarity? Any insight would be great?

I should add that I throughly cleaned before the slam and brushed well during the slam
