Black Algae, Wire Brush, New Plaster

[edjanowsky]

Well unfortunately the filter got clogged up overnight somehow, so the circulation was too low for the SWG to produce chlorine.

This morning's reading is as follows.

FC 6 (using a 5ml sample)
pH 8

I backwashed and added a gallon of 10% bleach and a quart of MA.

CYA standard came in yesterday so I know how to read the dot. But I only have enough R-0013 on hand for maybe one more test, so I added a gallon of conditioner yesterday (since I know I'm way less than 80) and will check my CYA later today.

Did you ever check your CYA level yesterday?

 

[edjanowsky]

Cya 75

Rounds up to 80. Very nice. And you found the right lighting conditions/waist-height to achieve 50 every single time on the standard?

Sounds like your FC demand has gone way down, unless you added bleach.

 

[edjanowsky]

I haven't added any bleach since 8/15/17. Yes I'm comfortable and confident with the how the CYA dot looks.

How's the black algae looking? Same? Worse? Better? Who knows?

Here's my post from August 8.

I just micro inspected the entire pool with the wire brush, snorkel and mask three times around. I can not find any BA.
