ok so I need to SLAM even though the algae is dead?

Hi! So I am having a lot of dead algae appear in the pool and so I am starting to wonder if it is seeping through the filter and back into the pool? If this is the case, what do I need to do to get rid of it for good? Add DE? Vacuum to Waste My water is clear and all of levels look...

Thank you!

Yes, it does kind of go "poof" and disappear when I vacuum. My FC was 3.8 not 3.7 just a typo

So I have had this material on the bottom of my pool for about a week. It looks like dirt....not yellow or black. My water is crystal clear and other than those spots coming back up, I have had no problems. My question is how can I tell if it is algae and would my CC be 0 if algae was in the...

I specifically noticed the Alkalinity being different. website says goal is 80-120 and app says 50-90

Hi! I recently downloaded the app for Pool Math and like the mobility but I noticed that the ranges for the chemicals were different than the ones on the original pool math calculator. Which values do I use? Here are my testing values for today: FC--1.7 CC-0.0 CYA-25 TA-60 Ph--7.4 CH--170...

I got my shock level to 12 and cc is at .2 (maybe) it was only a tinge of pink.

Water was pretty clear and yes and CC was also 0 .

I just opened my pool and vacuumed out the debris and it is clear. My ph is 7.2 and FC = 0. Do I still need to SLAM if the FC = 0?

I can't feel it very well with my foot....it dissipates quickly though. If it is dead algae, would vacuuming to waste get rid of it?

Kelly So can I assume if my CC is 0 and my water is clear and my OCLT is 0, then it must be dirt? Is that a valid conclusion?

CYA is around 40. Got any thoughts?

CYA is around 40

I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out if I have mustard algae. My husband thinks it is dirt. It is like sand light brown and along the edges of the pool pretty much all around. It is not on the walls that I can tell. We had mustard algae last year (or so we think) and the water was...

Thanks Divin Dave! Yea, I know I have a lot to learn but I also know it doesn't happen over night. Glad I have help here for advice:) I've ready the links you suggested but I'll keep referring back to them.

Thank you Richard! So if I understand everything correctly, the pucks are used for convenience because they are slow dissolving and you don't have to add chlorine every day. Im gonna give the liquid chlorine a try! I guess by testing daily, Ill start to figure out my daily chlorine amounts.

So I am a total newbie but determined to learn this on my own rather than using pool store info. I have a Taylor DAS-FPD test kid and am now comfortable with it. Yesterday, these were my readings from the kit FC-4.5 CC-0 PH-7.6 ALK-130 CYA-35 Cal Hard-250 Pool looks wonderfully clear. I...
