I also just looked at my pool math set up and realized my CYA level was set too low. My real SLAM level is 4 ppm higher than I've been using. So, I'm not surprised I'm having issues. And wasting expensive chlorine.... Thanks for the support. Kelley

Hi, I've had my pool for 11 years now, and I've been using the TFP protocols the entire time. I've never had a problem like this. I opened my pool at the end of May, no issues. The weather has been so rainy and cool I never got in it during the month of June. The problem started last...
