So far so good! Still clear! And FC levels are very steady and predictable.

The whole process from when we opened the pool to when we passed the OCLT was 100 days, give or take a day or two. We started working in April at least 1-2 hours a day, pulling debris, algae and any number of things from the pool and brushing everything even though we couldn't see anything. We...

From this To this! Thanks for all the help! Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I passed the OCLT!! Water is clear and my CC was 0 this morning! Now, for the last 2 months I have been fixated on SLAMing. Do I just not add anything and let my FC levels go down? I am actually a little scared of seeing numbers under 10-12. I have also been doing so much work that it seems...

So excited! Our pool has been clear for the last 2 days! We can see the main drain on the bottom. Have not been able to do that before now, it has always been not there or just a vague shadow. CC has also been .1 and under for the last 3 days! So, time for the overnight loss test. My...

Here is the yellow staining. Its a lot more noticeable in person. And obviously the black staining.

Now that our water is clear we can see staining. There are 2 different ones that no amount of brushing seems to be getting rid of. The first and most troublesome, as it looks horrid, is a black ring around the pool. The second is a yellow stain on the floor of the shallow end. FC: 8 CC: 0...

The 2 circles in my previous picture are where the ones in the deep end are. Here is the third the fourth is directly across from this one. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I was wondering the same thing about the chemicals. The eddies are not near the returns nor skimmers. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I got it from a friend. Maybe they do not sell this particular one anymore? So far its been working well. I do have to calibrate/balance every time I test. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Unfortunately we di not. They are solid plastic? and protrude from the wall about a half inch. If you turn them they don't change direction just loosen and come off. We are ordering some we can adjust the direction. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Overnight only 2 of the balls ended up in the skimmer. The other 3 were still going in circles where they are in the picture. Now obviously I can not tell if they are the exact same balls that stayed there all day and I realized that this morning but still I don't think it bodes well.

Going for 30. Yesterday I got a reading of 25, in the later afternoon and evening, since I hadn't needed to add stabilizer for a couple weeks I figured I'd put some more in and overnight it shot up to 35.

FC - TC = CC my test kit is digital so math came up with .04.

Day 3: This morning's numbers: FC: 13 CC: .04 PH: 7.2 TA: 76 CYA: 35 I am waiting for a CC 0 before doing the overnight loss test. My question is if CC is 0 and I pass the overnight loss test but the water is still cloudy do I have to keep FC at SLAM levels while the filter is doing its work...

Thanks, I wanted to double check with someone as I was told the balls should eventually end up in the skimmers, them going in a circle for 3 hours was starting to worry us. I didn't want to end up back at the beginning because all the water wasn't being properly circulated and filtered. Its...

We have 4 jets 2 at the stairs pointed right at each other and 2 in the deep end. There seems to be 3 dead spots that I am always having to skim leaves from. (The Xs) And the water seems to circulate the way of the arrows. The three balls have been going around in circles there in the...

We did, thanks for the tip! We also used a hand trowel to make sure there was a good base under the laterals before dumping in the other bags. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Now for my question. I was told to throw something that floats into the pool to check the circulation hence the wiffle balls floating around. If it turns out I don't have good circulation is that going to significantly effect the SLAM? Is there anything I can do to improve circulation? We...

Now that my filter is up and running we have begun the SLAM process again. My numbers this morning and afternoon: FC: 8 CC: 1.05 PH: 7.2 TA: 98 CYA: 29 FC: 15 CC: .24 PH: 7.2 TA: 98 CYA: 29 My journey thus far: The first row is over the course of a month. I took a photo when there was a...

So my filter is up and running again. YAY! Now to start SLAM #2! This was what we found inside the filter. We had back washed before shutting down. All cleaned out. The inside of the laterals were just as bad, they were not stopping anything from going back into the pool. We had 2...

I have a Hayward S200 sand filter and it seems the lateral lines are broken as sand is being blown back into the pool. I have ordered the new laterals and we are replacing the sand and all o-rings for peace of mind. Does anyone have any tips? Any surprises I should look out for? I have...

Alright, it has been quite a while since I was on here. We had gotten so discouraged as we would get it to a point where we could see about a foot to a foot and a half down for maybe a day, then it would cloud up again. So we decided to start again last week. Kept shock levels where they were...
