We are in full pollen season here and my chlorine demand has gone from 2 pints/day a few weeks ago to a gallon or more now. I began to slam the pool but it occurred to me that it may be smarter to wait until the pollen subsides to do the slam. My water is crystal clear and I have zero combined chlorine but I still use 4 - 5 ppm over night. I think that the pollen is going into the water at night as well as in the daytime and using up the chlorine.
What do you guys recommend? Slam now or wait until the pollens eases up. For those of you in dry climates and aren't familiar with how bad pollen can get, I have a yellow powder visible on horizontal surfaces in the pool area.
