So I started to SLAM I don't know, 2.5 weeks ago I think, it feels like I've been doing this for so long now. It took longer than it should have because I had the incorrect volume for my pool, so I spent a week or so getting close to but never hitting my FC target.
So now I have had 3 days of crystal clear water, but I keep falling my OCLT by 1-2 ppm. The first time I thought it was because it had rained that night. The next time I thought it was because we had a bunch of kids in the pool all evening. But last night it did not rain and there were only 2 adults in the pool for about 20 minutes in the evening. The pool had been vacuumed by the robot and the skimmer baskets were clear. I still lost 2 ppm. I know I ned to keep the SLAM going until I finish it, but I'm getting soooo tired of it and with my work schedule I'm down to only being able to check it 4x a day (before work, after work, few hours later, and before I go to bed).
No more piles of algae along the creases in the morning. I have cleaned out the light niche. Skimmer area looks good. Am I down to doing a deep clean of the filter?? Makes me a little nervous, but I'll do it if needed. I can see a tiny bit of something in that little glass peep hole on the filter that might be algae. It's at an angle that makes it hard for me to see it well. Doesn't go away when I backwash, but I don't know how to get the thing off to clean inside of it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
