My question is, is a CYA of 90 too high to perform an effective SLAM for mustard algae? According to the tables in TFP, the FC for SLAM is 35 and it is 51 for the Mustard Algae SLAM. Is it even possible to obtain a FC level that high without bringing in truck loads of liquid chlorine?
Background: I've been struggling with mustard algae for a long time. Previously I had been following the advice of the local pool store, but that got me nowhere. So now I am here, re-learning the basics. This will be my first time using the SLAM method.
(Tested using the recommended Taylor test kit)
FC 7.5
CC 0
pH 7.4
TA 90
CH 240
CYA 90
13,000 gallon chlorine pool; south Florida; plaster
