I have experience with SLAM's, as I had to do 2 of them last season. This year I let the pool go green over the winter, and started my SLAM on April 15. My numbers for overnight loss are trending down, but my losses during the day are going up. I realize that sunlight will impact the loss during the day, but I am losing an average of 0.20 ppm at night, and an avg of 0.45 ppm during the day. This equates to about 2.0 loss at night, and over 5.0 during the day. Am I correct in my thinking that based on my numbers above, of the loss of 5 during the day, 2 of it is due to the algea, since that is what I lose at night, and the other 3 is due to the sunlight? It is just frustrating because the water has been crystal clear for 2 weeks, yet I have been in the SLAM for 3 weeks and still not able to pass the OCLT.
Also of note, I am not able to check throughout the day, only once at around 7:30 AM, and again around 6.
