I am new to this helpful forum and with your assistance performed what I thought was a successful SLAM around 2 weeks ago. FC levels stable, no CC and water clear for days. My problem is that I continue to have green algae stains along the sides and bottom of my pool. The algae stains are worst...

Thanks everyone for the useful tips regarding the CC test and how to determine what kind of stain I have, exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate the help.

Can anyone please assist with my questions regarding the CC test and the algae (or something else) stains on my pebbletech? Thank you in advance.
