I have been SLAMming for 6 days and water has gone from cloudy green to beautiful crystal clear. My FC shock level is 28 per PoolMath and it has dropped overnight to 22 the past 2 nights. Do I continue to SLAM even though water looks perfect or can I let it drift down to normal FC of 4 and...

So I returned from a week away and my pool was in decent shape. Water is clear but definitely a bit cloudy. The trichlor tabs elevated the cya to about 60 so I added new water to bring it down to 50 as of today. It has been about 100 degrees here and raining heavily. I've tried to keep...

I am just getting my first readings using the TF-100. Water is a bit cloudy. Per pool math I added 20oz of 8.3% bleach at 9am. Added 56oz of liquid stabilizer about noon. My CYA test is giving me a 0 reading taken shortly after adding the liquid stabilizer. Is there a proper time to add...
