I'm currently working on my 2nd SLAM of the year, despite ideal chemistry which is frustrating. I've noticed that all algae blooms start in the 8 foot deep end wall/floor edge. Could poor circulation be part of the problem? Would pointing the return jet in the deep end down towards the bottom edge help? Right now it points straight out as all of them do.
That's another good question - all my returns point straight out (with the pump in fast speed you can just see a bit of rippling). Should my shallow and deep end returns point down a bit? Seems like its just circulating the top surface of the pool. I also have 2 step jets which seems like overkill for the small pump area. Maybe point one of the step jets out into the pool and/or slightly throttle down on the step jets to give my shallow/deep end returns more flow? Thanks!!
