You should keep slamming. Crystal clear water is only one of the criteria to stop slamming. You still have a CC 1. You also need to pass the OCLT. You're so very close! don't stop now and lose all the ground you have gained.

You may want to consider pulling those lights and cleaning behind them. Notorious place for algae to hide. Good luck!

I agree. and although clear, there us still green in towards the deep end. it looks like it's stuck on the bottom, and mayb could be vacuumed out? not totally sure. just thoughts.

Yea, sorry. You're not done unless that green is gone (and the CC) since you last posted. After those issues are dealt with, then perform an OCLT. Late finding your thread.

Here are two photos from today...I assume that is algae collecting in deep end. There are a few instances of this throughout the pool so I guess I need to keep slamming. FC level seems to drop faster now that it's clearer--is this directly related to more sun and warmer temps or something else?

Hi KC. I haven't visited your thread in a while, but I see from your post # 121 your readings show you still have a little "bug" in the water huh? If your FC is still under 10, please verify pH now and lower it to the lower 7s. Then remember, based on your CYA of 35 (round-up to 40), your SLAM FC should be 16. You have to keep it there as much as possible. Now I don't know about you, but a little south of you our temps really spiked today. So make sure of that CYA level by checking it in the bright light outside with sun at your back. The performance of your FC hinges on that CYA reading. You have to be getting close KC, so try to stay with it. Read the SLAM page once a day to refresh your memory on all the little things. Good luck, and have a nice weekend.
