Have been fighting a mustard algae problem for quite some time. Getting ready to SLAM pool. Did an overnight FC loss test and we lost 2.0ppm. Our CYA level was at 100 so we decided to drain 75% and then refill before SLAM. Our CYA did not go down, it is still 100. We live in Albuquerque on water restrictions so we do not want to fully drain.
Should we still SLAM to get our FC up to 39/57 with mustard algae? How do you test that the FC is up that high?
Current values are:
FC 1
CC 0
CYA 100
pH 7.8
TA 140
