OOF. So you really want to get the pool in shape from winter ASAP after opening as it gets more difficult/costly as you approach summer conditions.
Is the oclt the over night test?Yup Alabama, it was 90 degrees here today & full sun. I am quite north of them. The oclt should tell the true tale.
I haven’t been keeping it in pool math but keeping a written log. Last night FC was 11 and CC was .5. CYA was 20 now.Log a full set of test numbers again. You aren't keeping anything in poolmath?
Have you been keeping up with your brushing etc?
Rain won't matter much. Brush Brush Brush!!! Need to strip the biofilm on the algae so the HOCl can kill it. You are getting there!
Pics of the pool?
I brushed every single inch today.I don't think you can leave the brushing to the robot, you need to be confident every square inch has had some attention and no lurking algae has got a free pass.
I can't imagine it can provide the level of thouroughness, aggression and the direct channelling of your algae death wishes as effectively as you standing there and doing it it.
But did you let the hate flow through you?I brushed every single inch today.
My arms ache today so yes the hate flowed. I hope it’s ok to get in the pool like this. Only way I could get the center. I just brushed the whole thing again today. Still having to add. At 11 it was 8, so I added 1/2 a gallon. Couldn’t check again cause I had to leave right away. It’s 4:00. I just got home to check and it’s at 8 again.But did you let the hate flow through you?
Cya dropped to 20 , was at 30. I will add more cya to the sockJudge by the
Overnight Chlorine Loss Test
You’re not quite there but it will come! Get the cya to a solid 30 to help with the daily losses. & SLAM ON!
...
The water now has small white fluffy chunks floating under the surface. (Pic attached but not sure if you can see it good in the pic)
I feel like there has been no progress.
Backwashing when pressure low.

Any advise
