Thank you. Laterals look good. We had started taking the sand out. Oh my!! Nasty 🤮. Should we add any chlorine to the filter? I found this because I was in the middle of a SLAM and was not getting 2 off the 3 tests. Dead algae in the bottom of the pool and loosing chlorine over night.

There doesn’t seem to be much sand in the filter. Also the pvc that the radials are attached to came up when we removed the maxiflo valve. Feel like things are not correct. Help! :(.

Thanks for the suggestion. I like that idea.

Thanks!! so now that I am done with the SLAM, do I continue running my pump/filter 24/7? and I will keep testing my levels. At what fc level will I get accurate readings on ph etc?

This is my light. I have no idea of how to remove. I am maintaining the pool while hubby isn’t home. I am sure he would be able to remove. I am sure I can do it. I will do some research. Thanks again Marty.

630 am test results Fc 20 Cc 0 Cya 50 For the regular slam should I have removed the light from the niche? Thanks Marty for your patience and help during this process. Aldo thank you orion7319 for your input, very appreciated.

I will. Thanks again. I don't watch but to do this again. It's a lot of work. Definitely worth it when you finally pass the 3 tests. Which I did this morning! I am on to the next step!

No leaves. When the lawn guy cuts, I skim the clippings out of the water right away. This was the first morning after I elevated the fc for the slam. we get the pollen, that spring stuff is gone around here. I thought it strange that these spot showed up the next morning after the elevated fc...

Last test for the day Fc 18.5 (round up or down) Cc 0 Cya 50 added 1-1/2 qts of bleach looking for passing the 3 SLAM requirements in the morning. 🤞

Hmm. Still trying to figure out what this might be then??

I am really not seeing anything on the pool deck etc. I know this seemed to come after the rain. Or maybe I just didn't notice till then. I am on a corner lot, we have open fields and a grape vineyard across the road. We are also close enough to the river that we can hear the boats, ski-doos...

I just read this again. So reading it, since I am at shock level, this is not mustard algae. At least that is the way I interrupt it. This appears to be moving on the surface of the water and it is brown in color. May I ask if I am correct that it is pollen? Sorry, I just want to make sure...
