So confused, CC levels going up during SLAM? Started normal

[KarenNJ]

So Sunday morning I pulled the cover off the pool and noticed a few small green spots on the floor. I swept the bottom and then ran to the store to get LC. None to be found so I bought bleach and started the SLAM. I have been SLAMing since so about 36hours. My CYA was low and I did not notice so I raised that earlier today and have been adding bleach to keep the SLAM going. I think I have used like 14 jugs of bleach. Anyway, I started the SLAM because I saw the green algae stuff that I was able to brush off the floor. My first reading before starting the SLAM my FC was about 5 and my CC was .5. Everything looked good except for the green marks on the floor. Since I have been SLAMing the CC is raising. It went up to 1 now it is up to 3. I failed the OCLT for Sunday night. I am running it again tonight but I am sure I will fail since the CC is now up to 3. I have swept Sunday and Monday. I will check the ladder tomorrow. Why is the CC going up???? Have not seen any more green since I swept the first time.

The CC goes up because the chlorine is attacking organics. That is a good thing. You caught this early so it should go quickly.

I hope so because I am getting a collection of jugs here, lol. The recycling guy is going to get suspicious!

Haha...I was thinking the exact same thing. I have 25 jugs (so far) from my slam and recycling isn't until Thursday. It'll look awfully suspicious to both the garbage men...and my neighbors.

so I failed my OCLT but my CC's are going down now! I just scrubbed every inch of the pool so I hope to pass tonight!
