I am getting my pool ready for swimming season. I generally get some visible greenish algae on my walls in the corners and near the top of the plaster line when my free chlorine dips, but I've never had any problems with full on algae blooms, cloudy water, etc. This minor algae is the only issue I've ever really had. I plan to do the SLAM process to get the pool ready to swim, but I am also due to change the filter cartridges in my Clean & Clear Plus 420 filter. My question is this... do I change the filters before the SLAM or after? The filters that are in there have not been cleaned since last May, so they will be pretty gunky right now.
If important, I am in SE Lousiana, have a plaster pool that I chlorinate with liquid chlorine (bleach). I don't cover or close up the pool in the winter. I keep it minimally chlorinated during the winter, which keeps it nice and clear, and generally don't have any problems getting ready to swim again other than the minor algae referred to above that really gets more noticeable when the water temp heats up in the summer.
Thanks in advance for any help!
