Sorry for the delay in responding. I will try to post pics soon...my filter psi is 10, which is the same before the SLAM. Why was the spiral a bad thing?

Hi everyone, I just slammed my pool for the first time and the chlorine is finally maintaining the way it should! But, now, I am noticing that the skimmer is getting hardly any suction. It used to spiral with a lot of suction in the pool skimmer basket, but now it is so slight it hardly is...

oh great! I hope this stuff dissolves soon...fingers crossed! :)

That's it then...I didn't realize some of the bleach I bought was high efficiency. I didn't clean the cartridge ever yet, so I think it must be the bleach. Is the extra suds harming my equipment or pool in any way? Will it fix itself if I just keep running the filter? Thanks for your help!

No.. in the past few days we switched from using a chlorine tablet feeder to pouring liquid chlorine directly into the pool. We haven't put anything else in the pool and that's the only change we have made. Should I turn the filter off? The whole pool is slowly being covered with a foamy film now.

Here is a picture of what the water looked like with the filter running:

Thank you all for your help! We will try slamming the pool, and if we have any questions I will be back on here. Thanks again! Enjoy the weekend :)

Okay, so I need to add enough bleach to raise it to the shock level (around 28 according to the chart). As I am understanding it I would shock it to 28 and then test it early the next morning, and raise it with some bleach if it is not yet to FC of 5 (recommended level for my CYA), then I would...

Hi! So I was able to pick up a test kit, I ended up going with the taylor 2006 just because I could get it here the fastest. Here are the test results I got -- FC- .6 TC - .6 pH - around 7.2 or 7.4 Alk- 150/160 (it turned a light light pink at 150 but didn't turn red until 160) CYA - around 65...

Thank you for your quick response! Is there any one of those kits that you particularly recommend or are they all similar in quality?
