Current test FC 7, cc 0, ch 280, ph 7.8, TA 130, ca 50
Been through a slam 3 weeks ago. Since I have improved ca from 80 and TA from 250 to current. The lowest FC has been is 6.6. We missed a few days on brushing but not more than one day in arow. Pool is clear with only the rust stains I get from my well water on the floor and walls (getting better since opening). Today saw a large increase in water bugs. I believe backswimmers. Since slam there's been a few bugs with small increase then there would only be a few. Besides going through a slam are there any other suggestions? I've heard certain algecides or dish soap (don't know how soap effects a pools chemistry) are possible ways to kill existing ones.
