Hey y'all,
First year pool owner here. Want to close pool but have been having algae issues. All chemicals are balanced unless I'm missing something. Algae keeps showing up where walls meet floor and random spots on floor. It's very light green and comes off easy, but it's there. I shared my pool log so hopefully you all can see that. The algae shows up even when all chemicals are testing in the ideal range. There is a chance my CYA numbers are off a little due to misreading it, but even if it's off by 10 or so it still falls in recommended range. I just vacuumed and brushed pool and added bleach according to SLAM. It's all in the pool log.
Can't run skimmer as water level is on the low side. Don't want to add water since I'll be draining below skimmer for closing. I do have two bottom drains so letting filter run like that. Just wondering if I'm doing everything correctly. My main concern is next year and not wanting to deal with the algae issue, when all things seem balanced correctly. I'm sure there's something I'm missing so coming to you all for advice!
