I'm so frustrated. We have had our pool for just a little over a year now and I have had to SLAM it at least 5 or 6 times. You would think that I am neglecting it, but I can assure you that I am not. I've been a very attentive student of the TFP and test my water pretty much daily. Here are a few things to note:
* When I have performed a SLAM, I ensure that the water is crystal clear and that I pass an OCLT. The last time I slammed I kept on losing a little bit more FC than 1.0 overnight, so I kept on performing the SLAM for nearly 2 weeks (even though the water was clear).
* Current water stats are:
FC: 11
CYA: 70 (I raised it up this high using hockey pucks because I thought maybe I was losing FC too quick during the day)
pH: 7.6
Alk: 100
Temp: 80
As I mentioned, I really work hard to maintain these types of numbers, yet I am consistently having algae reappear. Not to the point where it takes over my pool, but it really clouds it up quite a bit.
Is it possible I am doing something wrong, or could it be that my filter needs a deep clean? It's only a year old and this had been happening even when it was brand new.
Thank you!!!
