Hello! New to pool care & had some small piles of stuff on the bottom of the pool that proofed up when swept. I believe it is mustard algae.
~16000 gal, CYA=60 (really close to 50 but not quite visible enough to call it 50), TA=130, pH=7.0, I started a SLAM two nights ago.
5/25, 10:30pm FC= 39.5
5/26, 7am FC= 36 (CC=0.5). Added 50 oz. sodium hypochlorite. Vacuumed to waste & cleaned filter.
5/26, 12:30pm FC= 32 (CC=0.5) It was 85 degrees & full sun. Added 36 oz. sodium hypochlorite
5/26, 4pm, didn't check FC but put in 48 oz sodium hypochlorite
5/26, 8:30pm FC= 32 added 134 oz sodium hypochlorite
5/26, 10pm FC= 40
5/27, 7am FC= 37.5. Vacuumed to waste and cleaned filter.
I also have a Nature 2 cartridge- not sure if that is relevant.
It seemed like less stuff today. But still see piles. Pump on high 24/7.
Should I just keep going with this? I want to finish the SLAM but need advice if I'm on the right track. Thank you!
