Hi
We live in NJ so only have our pool open for ~3mth per year but during this time it causes us no end of head ache with the continual fight against algae. This year we replaced the liner (in ground vinyl ~29k gallons), Pump; Pureline variable speed and converted to SWG - again Pureline.
We hoped we had cracked it with the SWG as free Cl was being constantly maintain around 7ppm, yet this weekend we saw haze and greenness so we're in the middle of another SLAM.
Typical readings outside of SLAM:
FC 7-8ppm
CYA 60
pH 7.6-7.8
TA 70-80
pump is running 6hrs on, 6hrs off, etc SGW around 48%. Filter in / out is at water level, one place in center of pool. We do not have a bot that carwls around the pool on a regular basis. we use the pool heavily on weekends but less so during the week.
What else are we missing? why do we still get algae???
