Hi!
this is my second summer using the TFP method. 2 weeks ago, I turned it from green (thanks to a vacation) to clear by slamming. It passed the OCLT. Algae again every morning. So confusing! Slammed again. Passed OCLT again. Still have algae, have to vacuum/backwash/rinse every day. I’ve also had to keep the FC at crazy high levels, and it’s not even helping. So frustrating!! I use bleach for raising FC.
Today’s readings:
-FC: 34
-CYA: I can see the dot @ 50, but when SLAM wasn’t working, I started treating it as 70. I find CYA difficult. Depends on your eye sight maybe .
-PH 7.8
-TA 90
-CC 0.5
-Temp 78
there are 2 weeks left of summer. I’m hoping to hang on for my kids sake... but this is so brutal!
is there anything I haven’t thought of, other than draining the pool and refilling??
Thank you!
