Day 9 of the SLAM & more questions. Is it possible for the OCLT to increase one day compared to the previous day? My changes have been: 7, 1.5, 1.5, 3.5, 2, 5, & 3.5.
I generally test at 2 hr intervals during the day with the first test between 6 & 6:30 am and the last between 8:30 & 9. The sun is up when I test but it hasn't hit the pool. Is it still possible to get a lower reading because it is already bright outside and should I be testing around 5 a.m. To get a more accurate reading? also, does pump speed play a role or is it just important that it is on? I try to brush after adding chlorine but it isn't every time. I think I'm just frustrated because there really wasn't much algae at the beginning of this process so in my mind i should have kicked this thing in the butt within a few days. The pool has been crystal clear since day one. Thanks!
