I have been testing my pool for a few weeks and I think I am fighting algae at the moment. It looks green/yellowish and when I vaccumed it, it seems move around like dirt. I noticed it a bit this week, but thought it was just pollen.
I haven't cleaned my filter in a few weeks, and I think this is part of the problem. It's a cartridge filter. When I cleaned it on Sunday it was spewing out green liquid.
CC was never higher than 0 throughout the week. FC was 7 at the lowest.
Test Results - 8/24
FC - 7
CC - 0
CYA - 38 ish
pH- 8.2
CH - 400
TA - 160
8/24 started SLAM, vaccumed pool and cleaned filter. Water looked cloudy after vaccuming and changed from greenish/yellowish to grayish cloudy.
8/25
FC - 17
CC - 0
pH - 7.8
Cleaned filter again.
Will continue SLAM until I pass the three tests
1. Clear water
2. overnight FC is under 1
3. CC is 0
Is it possible my filter is not working correctly as well? Am I fighting algae even though my CC was never over 0?
