Hi,

As the title suggests my pool water is reminiscent of blue cloudy Gatorade (see attached image) after a couple of days into the slam process. I‘m wondering if I should just continue to SLAM and hold the high FC level or if I should shut off the Filter and let everything settle and vacuum to waste? Not totally sure what a blue pool indicates and if the algae is still alive. Thanks for the help

The water looks like it's still fighting algae. I would remove that ladder for sure. Consider disassembling if possible to inspect for algae inside its parts. Algae pools typically go from green (if applicable) > hazy blue > clear. Could take a few days. Hang in there and maintain the proper FC SLAM level.

All the info I was looking for and more, I will definitely take out the ladder! Thank you!
