So I got my test kit to start a proper SLAM a week and a half ago. I've been testing and adding chlorine about 6x per day. Also vacuuming every day with the exception of the past 2 days when I couldn't see any algae on the floor, and then I just brushed instead. I've also been brushing the pool when I add chlorine, sometimes very thoroughly, sometimes just 10-20 brushes to get things mixed up, depending on how much times I have. I have taken the light out, cleaned inside the niche and I did vacuum the day after that. I can see the algae "poof" up when I brush, but that's been improving and sometimes nothing builds up between additions of chlorine. My numbers are progressively getting closer so that I'm usually adding less chlorine each time. So I thought I was making good progress.
This morning I checked the pool and the water is very clear - as clear as it has been since I started. But there are piles of algae along the liner creases now. I haven't seen these piles for 2 days. Is this just how it goes sometimes or am I backsliding?
