Hi all, super disappointed. All year I have been bragging to my wife how amazingly clear I have kept the water. I downloaded the pool math app and have upgraded to paying for all the features. I have been logging daily. Everything has been going great! Then today.... It was getting dark after I cut the grass so couldn't investigate to much. Anyway the entire season so far my water has been perfect. Besides adding the inial cya, I've had to add nothing other then chlorine. Test daily and has been great and easy with the app.
My last full readings are attached. Been great all year. Now granted last 2 weeks have sucked here, cold and rainy. But still have been checking and adding chlorine as needed. I was out of town yesterday but Friday pool was still crystal clear and everything good. And Friday I gave it an extra ppm since I knew I wouldn't get to it. So check the pool today as it's getting dark and FC is 6.5. Friday had it at 8.5.think everything is fine and notice algae on the bottom. Just in the one side as well. My FC as never dropped below 5 all season. Can you still get algae even though your chlorine had maintained? Is there something I missed or didn't do? Is my pump not circulating the chlorine enough to that side? Well as I said it was getting dark so took scrubbed the areas real quick to get the algae up and pumped it up to 10. (thinking algae will eat it up) but still don't understand I am only losing 1 or max 2 ppm a day and that is real hot days or rainy days.... What am I missing? Do I have to slam? Figures been great and now this when me and the wife are on staycation next week.
Thank you for the help.
