Hi!
We opened our pool on May 25. Everything looked really clear by 5/26. Even so, we kept waiting until we passed the overnight chlorine test before we stopped slamming. But now, even though the pool looks crystal clear...absolutely beautiful...it's eating chlorine. We haven't put the steps or railing in yet. I've only been brushing weekly the last couple of weeks, but I don't notice that I'm stirring up anything (like when you have that cloud of green trailing the brush). Here are our numbers:
CYA 35
pH 7.6
TA 70
CH 20
We've increased back up to a SLAM goal of 14, but our FC keeps dropping to 0. What are we missing? Is there likely some hidden algae somewhere that's gobbling it up? The temps have been pleasantly warm in the upper 70's and 80's.
As always, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!
