I can see the bottom!! Still some cloudiness to get cleared up, but it is certainly reassuring to see that this is working. Once it is totally clear, passes the OCLT and has a CC of 0.5 or less - what are the best steps to take on a regular basis to ensure this doesn't happen again?

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

Thank you all! So just assume that my CYA is increased by 18ppm - even if the tests are not showing that yet?

I added 1.75 pounds

Also wanted to note that I'm not losing much if any chlorine overnight at this point. But as you noted, UV is eating it up during the day. Lost ~1.5ppm of FC from 11am to 3:30pm.

How long does it usually take for the CYA to increase after adding it to the pool? I put it into a sock and put it in the skimmer basket as I do not have a good way to suspend it in front of the return. Sock is pretty much empty. CYA isn't reading much higher.

Got it. Thank you!

So it is OK to add CYA now? Or wait?

Tested CYA today.. It is below 20. Do I need to stop my SLAM to address that? Or should I continue with the SLAM and maintain closer to 10ppm FC? CC is fluctuating between 1 and 1.5 currently. Cleaning the filter almost daily as that is how often it is getting to 25% above base and also brushing...

Just tested the water during my SLAM. FC is at 16, but after 2 days my CC is at 2.5. Water isn’t changing to clear much and is still blueish and quite cloudy. Have been vacuuming and brushing frequently. Any suggestions on how to get it to clear up?
