Help! A few weeks ago I slammed my pool because I was seeing a little bit of algae. Slam went fine, got through OCLT, CC at zero and pool was crystal clear and beautiful. Since then, I've maintained my CYA at 60 and then 50. Since completing my slam, I haven't let my FC fall below 5ppm. This last week and a bit, we have had copious amounts of rain. Last night was the worst. Yesterday, the water looked good. Today, when I went out to look at my pool, the water was cloudy and full of debris (leaves and many worms) from the storm last night. We have quite a bit of landscaping that overhangs the moss rock waterfall, so any storm brings a lot of debris to be cleaned up.
I checked my chemistry and here are my results:
FC 8
CC 0
PH 7.4
TA 70
CH 300
CYA 50
TEMP 86
CSI -0.29
Brushed today and saw no visible algae poofs. I skimmed out the leaves and the worms and turned my filter on to high. Normally I run the filter only about 7 hours a day on high, about 7 hours on low, and turn it off overnight.
So...do I have a hidden algae problem? Should I SLAM? Will running the filter clear up the water?
Thanks as always for your help!
The first two pics below were what my water looked like post SLAM, pre the recent rains. The next two are my pool today.
