I recently completed a SLAM (on 6/27) treating for a tiny amount of black and green algae, and a decent amount of mustard algae. Since then, my pool has been crystal clear and levels holding quite well (just adding chlorine).
I've been testing every day, and all has been well. This morning, I noticed the chlorine level was getting low (4.5), but figured it would last until I got home this afternoon.
Testing today:

I've been testing every day, and all has been well. This morning, I noticed the chlorine level was getting low (4.5), but figured it would last until I got home this afternoon.
Testing today:
- At 7:00am, FC was 4.5 and CC was 0.
- As of 5pm today, FC was at 2.0, and CC was at 2.0.
- Not sure why the CC spiked so quickly.
- Pool water is still crystal clear.
- Very little debris in the pool (looks like some clippings from neighbor mowing, and a couple leaves)
- One thing to note--we've been swimming a lot this past week (7 people on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, nobody on Monday, 6 on Tuesday, nobody on Wednesday, 3 people on Thursday, no one today)
So...
- What do you recommend I do between now and Sunday evening?
- Will I have a big problem when I get back?
