Hooray, done wit SLAM a few days back and everything going well! My PH is 7.5 but total alkalinity is still high at 200 (I did a partial drain and refill before SLAM as CYA was high which is why I believe the Alkalinity is so high as it’s been really low in the past. In another post people...

Thanks! I was second guessing the crystal clear since the pool is clearing itself of dead algae and is cloudy but it has gotten less and less cloudy so hopefully crystal clear in the am 🤞

Unfortunately with my kiddos sport schedules I’m just testing the pool now. I added a little more than the recommended bleach this am to use the rest of the gallon and my FC is actually at a 36 (my SLAM FC should be 35) so it looks like it held and stayed above after 12 hours with some sun mixed...

Thanks! I’m testing 3 times per day right now, is that ok? Also, I know it says to disregard your PH during this but should I also be disregarding TA as well…..and is it safe to run my pool cleaner with CL this high?

The test for 15.5 was before I added the CL. I tested at 6pm it was 15.5 FC and I added 3 gallons of 10% CL and this am the FC was at 20.5. I added 3 more gallons this am to bring it back up to SLAM level of 35. I won’t be able to test until I get home from work now :/

I’ve just been testing chlorine during the SLAM and CC. My Cc went from 1 to .5. Sorry, new here and I need to upgrade my app so I’ve just been putting in the CL, I will do that now. 15.5 was yesterday at 6pm and 20.5 was at 6:30am today.

Hey there! I did my first SLAM because my pool would not hold CL overnight and my CC was at 1 although the pool was crystal clear. I’m on day 2 and have a question. Last night my FC was at 15.5 and this am it is at 20.5 am I supposed to get up to 35 (SLAM level) and maintain that without any...

Yes, I did add it last night after I was done filling and testing. I had added one container of metal magic and wanted to wait a little until that had time to circulate before I added the chlorine. Which helped but apparently I needed another bottle as there was a tinge to the water. I’m hyper...

I now see why I have two profiles. When I was hurriedly making a sign in the other day I misspelled my email address so you can disregard that question above.

I tried updating my signature but I keep getting an error message that they ran into a problem and I might be posting spam like content. Not sure how I can fix. I also notice that I have two profiles. When I Google an article it comes up with jamie5879 which is this one but I signed up with...

Thanks! I knew my PH was ok and that liquid chlorine will increase that as well so I didn’t want to increase yet. Does the pool math calculator account for that in its recommendations that I’m not seeing? It seems like all of the readings are independent of each other which but yet they all...

Hello! I have lots of things by the looks of my first reading that need to be adjusted. I was so sick of the pool store and going back every few days when opening to make sure I had it right and I wanted to start doing it myself which is where I found this site :) I had to lower my CYA as it...
