Greetings fellow BBBr's & TFPr's
I have a quick question today.
Well since 4/6 everything has been goin great, my levels seem great, adding bleach every other day, clear water, no visible algae around returns, steps crevices or the light but for some reason when I take my finger and rub the inner part of my skimmer frame (feels like the material that surrounds just the inner frame is fuzzy) where water enters the skimmer I see a small amount of what appears to be green dust.
Before I got to this forum and learned the right way to take care of my pool I would get a good amount of this green dust but once I went through draining to lower my CYA, got my FC levels in the correct range, no CC, and passed the OCLT test I thought I wouldn't see this happen anymore so now I'm puzzled/worried.
Before my pool was clear when looking at it but I ended up having algae as I couldn't maintain my FC levels because of high CYA but now it seems the levels are right and sustained and I am just losing normal Cl each day, around 1.0 - 2.0, due to the sun so I am back to feeling clueless and wonder if I have to go through the shock process again and if my pool isn't safe to swim in.
Below are my levels as of 1:00 am this morning (except CYA) and I added 96 oz of 6% Bleach to raise it to about 9 as my pool is 15500 gallons and the poolcalculator shows my FC target levels to be 5 to 9.
FC: 6.0
CC: 0.0
TC: 6.0
PH: 7.5
ALK: 80
CH: 120
CYA: 60 (as of 4/6)
Thanks for any advice\help and if you need a pic I can add one a little later but hopefully with my description someome will know what I mean.
