Sorry to hear about your troubles. Looks like algae and sounds like mustard algae. Who was your pool builder? I'm in Chattanooga as well and am curious. My neighbor is the owner of one of the larger companies.

CYA did not drop.

Awesome. Thanks!

Has anyone tried a Sylvania 250W LED for a cheap LED conversion? The pool light housing is a R-40 and currently has a 500W halogen. The Sylvania is a PAR38, but I don't see why it wouldn't work if you were OK with some Lumen drop. Anyone try this yet or think it wouldn't work? Link below...

Awesome! Thanks so much!

If my CYA is 60 and my FC is 21, I can swim, right? I'm below my calculated shock level for my CYA? Thanks.

Passed an overnight test! I can't believe it. The war is over.

Went to pool store to get new light bulb and had them test my water for fun. Actually came out similar to my results, but said I had phosphates of 1000. Didn't try to sell me anything. Just stated that was really high and good for algea food. Can someone help out with phosphates? Thanks.

Did overnight test. Night. FC 24, CC 0 AM. FC 10, CC 0 Guess I have to keep going... ��

Added another 22 gallons last night. Pool actually had that white haze like when shocking with Cal-hypo. Tested this morning: FC 44, CC 0.5. This is the first morning the FC actually rose significantly like this and I have not had to add any bleach! Here is to hoping I can pass an overnight...

In hind sight, I wish I would have done a drain refill multiple times (vinyl), bit I'm so deep into this now. Thanks for the link to the post. Would running my SWCG somehow interfere with SLAM? I ask because I have been running it this whole time. I saw somewhere that you should NOT run a...

I'm now starting to think I had CYA eating bacteria over the winter. I ran across this http://poolsolutions.com/gd/spring-swimming-pool-startup-problems.html and it sounds an aweful lot like what I am experiencing. My original pool store said I had no stabilizer and had me add some when we...

I did. It sounds like the aqua finesse product my pool store/neighbor gave me. I'm trying that first, then I'll try the Ahhhsome if I need too. I'm going to try calling them Monday as well. After 180+ gallons of 8.25% bleach, my FC is 19 and CC is finally coming down! Somewhere between 0.5...

I'm positive about my volume and I've switched to Walmart 8.25% with a date of 202 17 as the 12.5% pool store bleach was a little older. - - - Updated - - - Unfortunately, no. I do work at a hospital and considered bringing for culture, but don't want to risk my job. I have checked...

Thanks. FC 16, CC 1.5. Added 6 gallons 8.25% FC 22, CC 1.5. Added 4 gallons. - - - Updated - - - Does anyone have any idea why I'm having to add about 3x the bleach pool calculator is recommending?

Thank you very much!

Thanks so much. I'd really appreciate that. - - - Updated - - - Should I put my solar cover on the pool during the day to block UV rays? Didn't know if the high chlorine levels would damage it.

I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to eradicate it in my pool. I'm approaching 200 gallons of 8.25% bleach and am holding FC with a slow decline, but my CC is stuck at 2. I'm also concerned with the infectious ramifications as my two sons (2 and 3) have strep, a systemic infection, and...

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about biofilm?

FC 26, CC 2. Didn't add anything.

FC 10.5, CC 2. Added 15 gallons of 8.25% bleach.

FC 21, CC 2. Added 2 more 12.5% gallons.

Thanks. I'll try to change the pics/links when I get time. Tested again. FC 18.5, CC 2. Added two more gallons. Only have 2 more gallons though. Should have bought more.

Thanks. I'll post better pictures tonight. - - - Updated - - - YES! I'm glad someone got it! I'm a marine biologist in my spare time. ��

Ok. I'll write it up later and post more pics. The pool was angry that day my friends...

Yes, behind light. Trying to post more pictures, but getting a quota exceeded. Any advice?

Will let pictures speak for themselves. Comments/Recommendations?

Pool store recommendation before I found this site. Not a Baquacil pool.
