Have a 17k above ground pool with sand filter.
Opened my pool Wednesday night. Was clear but had algae and debris on the bottom. Vacuumed it all to waste. Refilled and tested (using Taylor K-2006) my CYA and pH only due to needing to SLAM it.
pH was 7.2
CYA was 100 (I know I need to lower it and working on it. Moved in last year and was first time maintaining pool and used pucks for convenience with having a young child.. Unsure if previous owners used or not. I did empty and refill and got it to around 90 now.)
Used pool math and follow SLAM levels per CYA of 100. Currently about almost 24 hours into it.
Have vacuumed and brushed the pool twice yesterday. Brushed it again this morning.
Last night before went to bed was clear after vacuuming. First picture is this morning with this brown mustard looking. Will brush away and be clear and then will come back in a little while.
Should I increase SLAM levels to mustard algae shock levels?
Thanks in advance!
