First time poster here!
My pool has kicked my butt all season. I’m about to throw in the towel, but thought I’d come here for advice first. I have gone through the SLAM process a couple of times this summer, and each time passed the OCLT and followed all the other brushing and cleaning guidelines (including cleaning the filter). However, I keep getting spots of what look like algae around the bottom edge of my pool. Today, it’s on some of the wall. These are my numbers today:
FC: 6.5
CC: 0
Ph: 7.5
TA: 80
TA: 80
CYA: 60
CH: 275
My current FC is a tad lower than I like to keep it, but I don’t believe it has fallen below the minimum for my CYA level. If it did, would this quickly allow algae growth?
I know my ph isn’t ideal- could this contribute?
Shouldn’t my CC be elevated with algae present?
