My pool seems to constantly have green dust on the bottom. The water is clear but If I brush the bottom and sides it kicks up. PH and TA is fine, CYA at 50. Chlorine has been held at 5-6 PPM. If I run the cleaner (Dolphin s200)I’m not sure if it actually picks it up or just kicks it off the bottom to resettle.
started a slam at 27ppm and the cl isn’t dropping like I’d expect if it were algae. In fact it’s going up because I went camping on the weekend and threw a tablet in while I was away even though I normally use liquid chlorine.
I called 2 local pool shops and they both said chlorine bleaches algae and I should use Algecide and clarifier and vacuum to waste. I know this goes against TFP methodology but I’m getting a lot of pressure at home to listen to “local experts” rather than “some guys on the internet”
Has anyone come across this before and fixed it?
