Good Morning!
I am new to this process, and successfully completed our first SLAM on an 18,000 gallon in ground pool on Aug 12. It worked beautifully! I let the fc levels drop naturally, and the water is crystal clear. I maintained the pool at 11fc (we have cya of 80 and plan to reduce that with new water at the beginning of next season - only 2 more weeks left in this season for us now).
This morning I noticed a very light covering of algae on the floors and walls as I was brushing. Does this new appearance of algae require another SLAM? Can it be killed with a slightly higher level of fc or must we always go with SLAM levels?
Using the Taylor 2006 kit our readings are:
FC 11.5
CC 0
Ph 7.6
TA 80
CYA 80
Your thoughts appreciated!
