Hey Guys,
We had a pretty good bit of wind/rain last Tuesday, and after work I noticed the pool had a good bit of debris and looked VERY slightly cloudy. I vacuumed the pool and it seemed fine, I actually did an OCLT that night and it passed. This weekend though I noticed a good bit of green in the seams and corners of the liner. I vacuumed/brushed again on Sunday and there was a lot of greenish "dust" kicked up while I was brushing.
Looks and sounds like algae to me, but here's my issue... 1. the pool is crystal clear, while vacuuming on Sunday I actually noticed about 6 ball bearings around my main drain (from my polaris I assume, since it seems to have stopped climbing walls recently). 2. From about 7pm Sunday to 4pm today, my FC dropped from 6ppm to 5ppm, so nothing is consuming very much chlorine. and 3. My FC has not dropped below 5ppm since about 7/1.
Here are my most recent test results:
FC 5
CC 0
pH 7.2
TA 110
CH 200
CYA 50
So, do I have algae? Could it just be dirt? Should I SLAM anyway? What do you guys think?
Thanks
