Hi all. I struggled with a SLAM getting much of anything done last month with my crappy Intex paper filter so we recently switched to a sand filter and our pool is no longer cloudy and our overnight chlorine tests were dropping less than 1ppm overnight, so we stopped with 12 FC.
But now every day, the water is crystal clear and blue, but there's still some sediment on the bottom of the pool that, if brushed, turns into a slightly green cloud, and it will make the pool mildly cloudy (not terrible but noticable) if you brush the entire thing.
I keep vacuuming but due to water constraints in my area we are unable to vacuum to waste. I vacuum every other day and brush daily and it keeps coming back.
The CC is zero.
CYA 30
pH 7.4
FC stays between 3-6 but usually over 4
TA 80
Am I experiencing new algae, should I raise FC to slam levels? Or am I just seeing the same stuff resettle?
