After a few days of on/off rain and a ~1 day depletion of FC, we started getting some green algae growth on the bottom of the pool. This is the first time we have seen algae since we set it up about two months ago. I super-chlorinated the pool using extra tabs in the floater as well as liquid chlorine and ended up adding about two lbs of A&H baking soda to get the numbers back in the normal range. Now that they have stayed in the ideal? range for several days, the green algae is growing again. I added around 3.5 oz of algaecide yesterday afternoon but no noticeable change this am (pump running 24/7 and keep filter checked/clean).
Am I doing something wrong here?
Numbers from yesterday evening:
FC=5 | pH=7.4 | TA=120 | CYA=25 | Calcium Hardness=90 | TDS=500
Tested the same numbers with home (HTH) test kit and Leslie pools in store testing.
