OCLT good…but algae still in pool

[300winmag]

I sleuthed last night. My skimmers have two fittings for pipes. One is connected, and the other is not. Its just a cavity. Well, one of them was FULL of crud.

The fountains are stone overflow bowls. Aside from scrubbing them, anything else I can do?

Do I have to scrub the Pump filter bucket cavities? The main filter housing?

Not typically.

Filter bowls scrubbed… they did have some sand in them?

Bottom of pool table & pedestal support both scrubbed again.

lets see how today goes…

Still losing FC. If it doesnt clear tomorrow im throwing in the towel

Still stirring up crud. Lost fc overnight.

If both light boxes were loaded w algae, i have to assume that at least some of the conduit running to them is also? Is there any way to clean that?

Would a full pool drain help? Does algae die w/o water?

Not typically. Algae needs light to live. Behind a light gets enough. Haven't seen a SLAM fail because of conduit.

Full drain is not going to help.
