Re: Help with the "Swamp" Think I am gaining ground finally, swamp not as green, looking more like lake water now than a slough. Started the SLAM yesterday evening took 11 gals of bleach to reach shock level, just tested again and only going to have to add a little over 2 gals to get...

So I need to remove all pucks from chlorinator and skimmer baskets before I start the SLAM? Do I need to shut the flow through chlorinator off afterwards or let it circulate empty on low

Had level a little low already from last vacuum, hooked up the submersible pump to get some more out. Next question, when I start refilling it do I need to worry with the PH levels or just pour the chlorine to it and adjust everything after I get it clear? And how long do I need to wait after...

Thanks guys!!!!

Re: Help with the "Swamp" Okay thanks, any suggestions on how much liquid chlorine? - - - Updated - - - This is my first pool and I am clueless, but learning. Do I need to be trying to keep everything balanced or just keep the chlorine going to kill the algae then start trying to...
