I opened my pool May 15th, and it looked pretty good! I started SLAM with a PH of 7.2 and CYA of 20. I've been adding stabilizer, and this morning it was 30. The pool cleared up pretty fast and by last Thursday, the 22nd, I could see the bottom and across the pool. It was clear, but greenish. I have continued SLAM because it is not blue, but a few days ago I started wondering why is the pool so clear, it is definitely not cloudy. I have not done the OCLT, because I have been waiting for crystal clear. Anyway, after reading here I've started wondering about metals, but I am not sure where they'd be coming from. We have city water, and nothing else has been different this year. I've been using BBB for 5 years now. It has been raining here in SC off and on for several days, but the green tint settle in before that. So, my question until I can do the OCLT tomorrow morning...if it isn't algae, could it be metals?

CYA 30
FC 13.5
CC .5
pH 6.8
TA 30

Thanks,

That's algae, not iron.

Keep SLAMming or, if you have stopped, you must start again. Keep your chlorine up.

At your stage you should be adding chlorine 2 times daily and brushing and vacuuming a couple of times as well.

Keep your filter clean. a 25% increase in filter pressure requires backwash/cleaning.

Follow the SLAM article to a T. You are getting there....stick with it.
