I have to agree. I would advise anyone wanting to do an AA treatment to think long and hard about the problems involved, the expense and the length of the process. My water chemistry has been very unstable since an AA treatment in April.What he said. I did an AA treatment a few weeks ago and now have a algae problem. SWG could never catch up, added some bleach still no dice. On day 3 of my second attempt at a SLAM. (First one forgot to turn off SWG so I thought I was done because < 1 ppm loss). I'm now a total of 7 days of no pool use in last 3 weeks and probably have 3 more days until this SLAM is done.
For what? A whiter bottom and walls and 10 of the 90 swimming days with a closed pool.
Frankly, I'm probably never going to do a AA treatment again. If I do it's gonna be right at opening or closing.
As I saw a reply. "Is you pool for swimming or for looking at?"
I would only advise doing the treatment at the end of the season so you have all winter to get the water straightened out.
If I ever need to do one again, I will do it in the fall and drain & refill the pool as soon as the metals are sequestered so I can start out with cleaner water Instead of trying to continue with sequestrants and attempting to filter out the iron.
