Re-occurring ZOMBIE Algae...

[Waldog]

Just got home and no algae on the pool floor. Tested my FC and PH with OTO test and this is the first time that it's turned ORANGE. Like NEON orange!!!

I will do the FAS-DPD test and see what results I get with that.

PH is reading 7.5 but it always has been so I don't know if that's false because chlorine is so high.

Better half is on way to Wal-Mart shortly to get bleach and borax.

I'll be back shortly with the FAS-DPD results and CC test.



Ok BACK!!! Just tested:

CYA: 40
FC: 27.5
CC: 0

Now... how in the world did the pool have some algae on the floor this morning?

I dumped a 64OZ bleach in this AM before I left for work because I was afraid I would come home to algae again... there's no way that one bottle put me up that high unless my FC was already pretty good. Yeah, I didn't test, was in a hurry so I winged it.

I guess I should do an OCLT tonight/tomorrow.

Going to vacuum up the pool now and possible swim. The h-e-double-hockey-sticks with it. LOL

Side note: I am seriously thinking my Aldi bleach was weak and quite possible that last bottle was not... although it was in a case I've been using... I dunno I have never seen my OTO turn orange so that's why I say that.
