At what point will I need to turn my SWG back on? It has been off through this SLAM!

Thanks so much! I feel better with your assurance that it can indeed take this long!

Day 18 and I am still at it! The water does look tremendously better but I surely didn't anticipate owning stock in bleach at this point! To the best of my calculations I have added 60 gallons of bleach! Around day 7 I had to order refills for FC and CYA testing. While I was not able to test I...

Wow! That pool was eating up some chlorine over night! At 0815 this morning the FC was 19! The water looks much clearer as you can see in the photo however there is a lot settled on the bottom! I am about to vacuum it with my nifty pool vac that does not attach to the pool to get some of...

I will have added a grand total of 14 gallons of bleach today shortly! I had to make a trip to get more and was gone longer that I expected...you know you see everyone in Wal-mart and have to block the aisles to talk! Below is my break down! 0742 FC 1.5/PH 7.2/CYA 55/CC 0.5...swept/moved...

Excellent...thanks so much! I plan to keep that FC up today!

This morning I did still have FC of 1.5 which is better than 0! I went ahead and tested my CYA and got 55. I tried to dissolve the granules instead of paying big money for the liquid form. It didn't exactly go as I had hoped and turned into more of a slush so I was somewhat concerned about it...

Thank you so much! Just to clarify, I only need to get my CYA to 30 to start the SLAM? And, if I use liquid stabilizer do I still need to wait 7 days to test it?

Thanks for the link! I definitely need it!

Thanks so much! I really hate to sound like an idiot but I am definitely feeling like one right now! I made notes that bleach = sanitizer, baking soda increases alkalinity, borax increases pH but apparently I didn't make a note about the CYA. - - - Updated - - - I am confused about why I...

Thanks for your reply! I got the K-2006 test kit. I have already turned the SWG off. What do you recommend to add to increase my CYA? I am sorry but I have read so many threads I can't see the forest for the trees at this point!:confused:

Hi! I am new to TFP and have read many threads to try to solve my problem before starting my own thread! I have had an AG saltwater pool since 2008 and other than having to replace the SWG due to lightening strike, the pump because it died and the actual pool in 2013 because it was totally...
