Hi everyone,
Current readings are:
FC - 12.5ppm
CYA - 65
PH - 7.8
I know the PH is high and I need to bring it down. The FC is that high because I'm just trying to see if I can burn out some of the Algae.
Basically, I had an algae problem a couple weeks ago and I used the SLAM protocol and got crystal clear after a week of high FC, brushing the pool, and cleaning the filter daily. As soon as it was clear I was keeping the FC around 5-7ppm as a constant. I believe one day it dipped down to 3ppm but that was only for a day.
The family has been using the pool and all of the sudden in the last week it started to get a little cloudy and then a little more and when I brushed, I noticed green algae had settled on the bottom of the pool.
I don't want to have to keep SLAM'ing it. It seems excessive and it also makes it so that people can't use the pool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
*** as a side note, even when the pool was really clear and nice, I noticed while underwater with googles on that I could still see what looks like tiny white particles floating everywhere. Not sure what that is, in case anybody knows what I'm talking about.
thanks!
