So I have my FC level ironed out with the liquid bleach. Still having algae issues. It takes a few days for it to appear. I monitor the testing everyday. I have slammed the pool and passed the OCLT. But algae appears every few days. Usually it's a dark looking shadow color on the pool bottom and usually around the edges. I have talked with other people. Some have above ground and some have in ground. Everybody I know uses the chlorine tabs with no issue. Could it really be that simple as to switching over to those? I'm just lost. All my testing comes out good. My CYA is right around 60 to 70 aND I don't let the FC drop below 8. A few people have mentioned they put the auto pool cleaner in every few days. Or at least 2 to 3 times a week. I'm starting to do that. It cleans up the existing algae but doesn't keep it from coming back. I am not sure if it's because I have a tree nearby that is dropping a few leaves in the pool or what. Should I pull the steps out and give them a scrub? The pool will be shut down this time next month. Not sure what else I can do to keep things good until that time. I'm going to pay a pool company to come out and close it since it's the 1st time I've had a pool. Just so I can learn. But I'm baffled with the algae....
