So I posted on here and slammed my pool for the first time in late July after draining and replacing 70% of water because CYA was so high. It was crystal clear and beautiful for a couple weeks, then I noticed algae a couple weeks ago. So I slammed again. Looked pretty good and made sure to test pH and chlorine daily. I'm starting to see some algae again! I'll post pictures from my phone. I did the whole set of testing this evening:
FC: 4.0
CC: 0.5
TC: 4.5
pH: 8.0 (I have a hard time figuring out exactly where the pH falls by the colors, so any tips here would be great)
TA: 70
CH: 125
CYA: 40
CSI: -0.10
I added liquid chlorine and muriatic acid to get FC and pH to recommended levels. But I guess I need to SLAM again? Any insight on why the algae keeps coming back?
Also, my bag of ice melt finally came, so I need to add that to get the CH up to recommended range. Should I do that tomorrow? Or wait until the SLAM is done?
