I've been slamming for about a week, my green swamp has turned to a nice shade of blue but still very, very cloudy. My recent levels are FC 14 - getting ready to add bleach to get back up to 18 FC for slam CC 1 pH 7.0 TA 60 CH 10 CYA 45 We had a pretty heavy rain this morning, I'm guessing...

Thanks!

Getting ready to start the slam process on my green swamp, trying to get CYA and pH regulated first! CYA 0 - I added Stabilizer to a sock and it's slowly desolving, pH was 8 or higher I added MA about 6 hrs ago and still no change, do I wait until tomorrow or can I add more MA now? Thanks in...

I did a really stupid thing! When I tested the water last night I used the 25 measure and of course it took a ton of drops, I'm running out and order won't arrive until tomorrow! I read on here I can test a 5 ml sample but still afraid to run out! FC was at 40 last night, should I wait and just...

Thanks! Trying to figure this out is driving me crazy!

I added the amount of bleach per the calculator and Just checked FC is now 40, I don't understand, did I do something wrong?

Here we go! Thanks!

Thank you Texas Splash, I followed the pool math calculator that said min pH 7.5 so that's why I thought I should increase it! So do you think it's ok to slam with a CYA of 80? I really don't want to drain again��

Hi Guys, drained about 60% of my water and refilled my new numbers are FC 5.4, CC 0.2, pH 7.4, TA 100, CYA high at 80. I've read pool school and SLAM info I know to adjust the pH with 8oz of Borax, before I start Slam, which I calculated 2.63 gal of 8.25 bleach to get my FC to 31. But, what...

Thank you all soooooo much! I will keep you posted!

Pool tool, my husband didn't want to use TFP methods and shocked with over the counter shock with stabilizer in it, attempting to try to get rid of the algae, and he also put chlorine tablets with stabilizer as well! Now he's looking at me to try and fix it. So now I'm going to try it my way the...

Thank you Kiss for the fast response, we are on city water. The water is a clear blueish green right now, I know I need to add bleach, just unsure how much! We're going to work on the pH now, should we get that undercontrol before working on adding bleach?

Good Morning Everyone, Finally got the Intex 18 x 52 pool up and filled yesterday evening, took tests and got pH 8 or above TA 160 CYA 30 and Ch 0, I put the numbers into pool math and put in 1/2 gal of bleach and 17 oz of muratic Acid we ran the pump for 6 hrs overnight and the results are the...
