I’ve SLAM-med twice. Vacuumed multiple times (sand filter). Vacuumed to waste yesterday and it still keeps coming back! Should I just drain it?

Dead algae.
Did you follow the SLAM Process through to full completion?
Have you deep cleaned the sand filter lately?

Yes to SLAM, twice. I have not deep cleaned the filter. I guess I’ll do that before draining. Deep cleaning, would that involve bleaching all components and replacing the sand?
Can you provide some test results??

So the dead algae you see now was completely gone at the end of the SLAM process, correct?
