Passing OCLT and CC test, some minor puffs when brushing bottom.

[Jameshowison]

Vinyl above ground pool. Question on whether SLAM is finished.

OCLT and CC tests are passing. Pool looks clear. Yet when I brush the floor I can see puffs of brown/maybe dark green stuff, minor compared to before SLAM, but still there. Using DE in sand filter and it is reducing.

For deciding end of SLAM, do puffs in the pool floor while brushing count as “visible algae” (ie am I still failing one of the end of SLAM tests?)

Or am I perhaps just filtering out dead algae and thus can stop SLAM and continue DE enhanced filtering?

Thanks,
James

Yes, keep SLAM going if your water isn't passing the "crystal clear" exit criteria. It's likely that you're very close.
This weekend, test and dose as many times as possible (every two hours can really help.)

Makes sense. On it.
