I started the tfp method last week - first draining the pool halfway which lowered the cya to 40/50, then raised to chock level - only one or two times, and the overnight test showed no lost fc. Since then, I've been raising the fc to 7 at night and by the next evening it's down to 3/3.5 and the pool starting to look green. Yesterday I tried raising it higher (9 or 10 - didn't test after to check) and the next day looking green with fc at 6.5.
My latest numbers:
fc - 6.5
cc- .5
ta - 100
cya - 40/50 (showed 50 or a bit less today - but tested while cloudy - no sun, and a few days ago I thought it was 35/40)
ch - 225
Any ideas? The algae is generally starts at the deepest end of the pool (at the opposite corner that I usually poor the chlorine) and is soon noticeable on the steps and walls.
