BOTH. Scrub INSIDE BOTH.

Alright, I'll remove them both when I have time and continue the SLAM. When the cleaning part comes in I'll get them both a good scrub.

Do you have a light and/or main drain?

No lights in the pool and no floor drain, just the two skimmer baskets and return lines.

Cleaning brush arrived today and my brother in law is coming over to help me get the steps out. I'll give the steps and the ladder a good scrub. I back washed the filter yesterday and today as my flow started well and then got progressively slower throughout the day. I also vacuumed to waste a bunch of dead algae from the bottom of the pool, so I've had a hose running pretty much all day to try and replace the water. I think I'll retest my CYA during my next FC check because I think it's gone down from the back washing and hose filling and my last FC check I didn't have to add LC because my FC was still above SLAM level (I think because I added based on having a CYA of 50, but if it's lower now I probably added too much). Pool looks much better after vacuuming so hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to post updated pictures of the progress. Appreciate all the help and prompt responses so far. TFP rules.

Last check CYA was 40, down from 50. I added LC this morning around 6:30 AM to SLAM up to 20 FC. I just checked and my FC is still at 17. I guess that's good? Means most bad stuff is dead. Deep end is still a little cloudy, can't completely see the bottom. I've had to turn the pump off for a few hours while the water level gets back up after back washing and vacuuming. So hopefully I'll get that back on in a couple hours ans resume testing.
