I did a series of water changes to bring down CYA level over several days. I wasn't quite done with process when a full bloom erupted. FC was kept on high end through June and July. At end of July I had a family emergency and had to leave town for almost a week. FC level did get low then and now...

Hello, I have been having trouble since June with algae. I am currently starting my 4th slam. Slamming with 8.5% bleach. What is happening is when FC is brought up to slam levels algae goes away. I was bringing to very high levels in June because my CYA was very high (over 100). Hold shock...

So should I be at a FC level of 24, or 34? I am going to head to store and load up on bleach!! Thank you all for your input!

I know that you are right Tim. I just got frustrated and decided to give there way a try. I know it was a dumb move!

Hello, Chart says with a CYA of 60 for mustard algae you should be at 34ppm. I am using sticks to chlorinate, When I slammed 3 weeks ago I used Clorox. I understand the process, held it for 2 days and this stuff just kept coming back with a vengeance! I spoke to local pool store and they said...

Hello, today I started with a PH test which was 7.2PPM, so I adjusted up to 7.5 with baking soda. I checked FC 1PPM, and with CC the sample turned bright pink, knowing it was way off and not wanting to waste the chemical I left it at that. Shocked with 400 ounces of 8.5 bleach. Came back 2 hours...

Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it! I thought I will still need to continue with the pucks for stabilizer after the pool has cleared, along with the bleach?

I was using algaecide 50 from In The Swim, but stoped about 3 weeks ago after I started reading the BBB method. It does resemble algaecide foam though.

So sorry, I forgot to post the PH. It was about 7.2, but I adjusted it up to 7.5 this morning before I shocked this afternoon. I was using 3 inch trichloro 90% puck's for stabilizer ( I still am using these) and granular dichloro 55.5%. Also noticed this evening that I am getting a white suds on...

Hello, I need help!! Last fall my pool became very cloudy. I shocked it a few times and it never cleared up. I was very busy with work, so I made the mistake of just covering it and dealing with it in the spring. Fast forward to now. I opened pool April 1st, very cloudy and slightly green. Super...
