Adding trichlor or dichlor today because I have buckets of it on hand, the algae behind the light fixtures was immense, dropping 8- FC daily and nightly, CYA is now 35 due to hose water and rains I guess ( I used the coffee filter method and tested with my drop kit) and because I have to leave...

No the pic of both lights are above - main pool too happily ignoring that one I don't see a top screw - getting back in pool

Everything isn't labelled on the breaker panel, so I follow what my husband does and just turn everything off!! Yeah, learning a lot on this forum...I had to get in the spa to remove it, it was under a step down and way too low to reach, so can't I just leave it laying where it is on bottom of...

Back was completely covered in green slime and solid chunks, clouds of it emerged as I pulled it out. Brushed it off but am bringing a toothbrush to it to really get in tight spots. But I have to put it back in with that (grounding?) screw before I turn power back on and continue SLAM?

Thanks for asking. I see algae after taking that spa light picture.

FC 5.5 CC 0.5 Will continue SLAM then. I have two light fixtures but I have been brushing them daily, is that enough? Really would like to jump in instead of bringing FC back up to 20! The pic shows clear water, the middle darkness is staining or stubborn, the vacuum hasn't helped it yet, and...

Yes chiefwej, up to 0.5 for CC This mornings readings: FC - 9.5 pH - 7.4 TA - 120 CH - 150 Salt - 2400 The FC and CC held over this night though, and water looked a lot clearer yesterday. I held off on resuming SLAM and will continue to monitor overnight. The balancing I did yesterday was -...

FC fell by 4 ppm over this night, so I am assuming smforte is right, the water was not clear and that I am not done yet. As I understand it, FC levels will drift back down to normal levels, but this looks like I am not done SLAMing since the loss was overnight.

OCLT passed! Thanks everyone! - Before and After pics:cool:
