Pool starting to turn Green!!!

[RHanel]

Hello everyone,

I now have a nice new pool and have been very happy with it. My water has for the most part always been good and within all the TFP recommendation. This morning when I got up to clean out the skimmer, I noticed a bit of GREEN algae by the skimmer. Now about 5 hours latter, the pool is starting to have a green tinge to it and I am seeing algae build up on the ladder and on the pool floor. Here is what my water test shows:

FC: 2 (Dropped from 2 days ago at 3)
PH: 7.4
TA :170
CH: 260
CYA: 50

The pool is in the sun all and I do have a solar which has been off for 3 days.

HELP! I don't know why it happened.

I almost forgot to add, I just added 3 jugs of Bleach to the pool as of writing this.

@RHanel
It happened because u went below min fc for your cya
you must adhere to the FC/CYA Levels
Daily
Minimum for 50cya is 4ppm fc
Target is 6-8ppm (w/ 8ppm being preferred)
Its time to SLAM Process!

Thank you very much for the understanding. I will check that out and add it to my spreadsheet

One of best pool gurus here, Richard320, has a great saying-

"A pool is like a pet. You've got to feed it daily even if you don't play with it"

Happy to say pool is all clear with the help of a friend who lent us a generator as we lost power 1 day into the Shock Treatment.
