Hi all! Thank you in advance for any help. This is my second year of pool ownership and I’ve been using the forums the entire time! I appreciate all of the knowledge within the grou.
I have been SLAMing the pool for several weeks now and just can’t seem to get to the no visible algae. I’ve passed the OCLT several times and have .5 or less of CC, but will wake up and there will be dead algae. When I took of the lights to check behind them, I noticed a LOT of dead algae and what looks like a red growth. I’m not sure if that is rust/bacteria/algae, all I know is that it keeps coming back. I’m in the pool everyday scrubbing the ladder, skimmers, lights, vacuuming and brushing walls.
About a week ago, I reached all three criteria. But within a few days, the FC dropped to about 8 and there was a ton of dead algae - so I have restarted the SLAM (I was concerned I didn’t complete even though I passed the test) and have been going at it again for several days. What am I missing? I’m loosing my mind on this one!
FC: 26
pH: 7.9
TA: 90
CH: 150
CYA: 60

Could you share some pics of the pool from different angles?
