    Algae without fc drop?

    Thank you for the input. I am not sure it sure looked like a green tint but for like 9th day in row it was raining so didn't get great look. Will check it out deeper this weekend. That was a thought of mine too. Especially cause I have the cheap pump the pool came with it that usually is...

    Quick chlorine question

    All year been using the pool essentials chlorinating liquid 10% and they were out and the wife bought this today which says 10% as well but wanted to make sure it was same thing as it mentions shock. Are these two things the same and OK to use ?

    If FC good can you still get algae?

    I may have snuck out with just needing a good scrubbing? (fingers crossed). Passed the oclt and just checked and back to crystal clear and since yesterday at this time I only lost 1 ppm of fc I'm 24 hours .

    If FC good can you still get algae?

    Well it got dark on me and didn't get to go back out (don't have lights) I gave it a good scrubbing and skimming and added my nr9mal amount right at dusk. So I essentially did a oclt test... As it was getting dark I was at 8.5 ppm of fc. I tested this morning about 9:30am and was still at 8.5...

    If FC good can you still get algae?

    I just scrubbed and and skimmed everything. I reran a week's tests and have attached the results. Looks like I lost about 3 ppm of fc since last night 830 pm.

    If FC good can you still get algae?

    I will say I was not super strict with the kids brushing the pool this year.... Would that be it then? Ughhhh, so disappointed in myself. Do I still need to slam or since my FC never dropped to danger levels do I just need to brush and maybe it will clean itself up?

    Hi all, super disappointed. All year I have been bragging to my wife how amazingly clear I have kept the water. I downloaded the pool math app and have upgraded to paying for all the features. I have been logging daily. Everything has been going great! Then today.... It was getting dark after I...

    OK I will research it a bit. I don't remember it ever dropping water before is my only concern. I did look at those as well but delivery time is sadly mid August. But will keep looking. Thank you for the reply!

    Back after a year break and forgot my ways.... 😔

    OK, I subscribed to the pool math app so I can track it better. Happy to say nailed the cya sock method and was perfect 40 after adding last night. Pool math is a little worried about a few other things. I will attach screenshot, anything I need to be alarmed about or let it ride?
