Fair point. Prior to the SLAM process my pH was always pushing above 8 even after putting 6 gallons of MA in my 8.75 k gallon pool over the course of a month. I also add about 2 inches of water every week, which is high pH. I did add some MA during the SLAM process, so it won't hurt to wait...

Thanks for the help, everyone! SLAM is over, filters cleaned, and pool looks clear for now! I am ending my SLAM and running the pool as normal, will retest levels on Friday, while adding a bit of Muriatic Acid every other day to compensate for the SWG being on so long. I have been bunkered in...

Always a lovely process! These were last cleaned in April.

In one area it seemed to clear it up, in another didn't do anything. I kept SLAMing yesterday after intense scrubbing and all night. No FC loss and no CC. One thing I did not do is clean the filters. Is that an absolute must do?

Thanks for the tip! I have scrubbed a vitamin c tab on it and left it to dissolve and will report back.

I was able to get the most of it off the skimmer intake (tile). The places on concrete I've scrubbed and scrubbed. it's like sandpaper so the fingernail doesn't do anything. How does this Crud survive at 31 FC for 4 days?! I'll continue SLAMing for another day/night. ugh.

Here are some pics:

Thanks that is helpful. The intake for the skimmer had a bunch of algae coating and some in the light fixture casings. There are a couple of spots that still seem to have a bit of green/brown on the concrete, but it simply doesn't come off regardless how hard I scrub. Not sure if that is...

UPDATE: I've held 31 FC for 4 days and my overnight FC loss was 0 this morning and CC measurement was 0 as well. Pool looks clear. I have scrubbed the pool vigorously each day, but there are spots where I can still see a little green (on the edges) that won't rub out, regardless of how hard I...

Thank you - I will follow the SLAM protocols and keep this thread posted.

haha...love the Ned Stark meme. Been going my own way for a while and it's been frustrating not being able to kill this stuff off. I will follow the slam process over the next few days and see if I see improvement. It's been over 31 FC for over 24 hours and still have green spots.

Hi all, I have been fighting green algae accumulation and proper LSI balance in our pool all summer without success. Any help would be appreciated! The pool water is not green, but green algae is slowly growing on the pool sides despite good FC levels and slamming. I started in mid July...
