slam

I have tried everything. Regular SLAM then MA SLAM. For weeks now. Wore out the steel brush. Pump on 24/7. Tried applying bleach directly on to the algae areas with a 10’ plumbing pipe (a trick a pool guy showed me once). Nothing works. Passing OCLT but the mustard is still there. Walls and...

Hello Forum! I opened my pool Monday and it was greener than previous years. So I began my SLAM. I SLAM'D it based on my reading from the end of the year for CYA levels, which were around 30. So I SLAM'd at about 16 for FC. However, I tested my CYA levels and it's reading zero. The pool is...

Hi Guys! Quick question, I have read that when slamming it is not needed to run the SWG. Which I don’t do...With that being said my CYA is 40. Should I slam with a CYA of 40 pass the OCLT then add stabilizer before running SWG. Or should I add stabilizer during the slam so when I pass the OCLT...

This is my first time opening a pool. I think I closed down too early last fall and therefore opened up my pool to a nice shade of dark green. Never fear! I am a true believer in the TFP SLAM method and have stocked up on liquid chlorine. I went through my first day, lots of sweeping and...

So last year I became a new pool owner and before I found this site, I added about 6 bags of cal hypo to my pool to shock it and ran the filter for a few days non-stop. The cal-hypo of course raised my CH but kept it within safe range. Once I found this site, I tried to apply the slam process...

We had our IG pool resurfaced in December and chemistry was balanced immediately after by our pool guy. I took over maintenance after a few weeks and was simply brushing, vacuuming, monitoring chlorine and pH levels until a couple of weeks ago. We had zero CYA because of the new water, so I...

Starting up and we need to SLAM. Our CYA is 0. So two questions for guidance: 1. To raise the CYA is there a top limit of how much of the Clorox CYA to add at one time - or use the entire amount of CYA as recommended on the label for the water volume of the pool. 2. Can I add a limited...

Hi all, Just joined, tried to before but it said registration was closed. Starting the BBB method this year. Added a SWCG and VSP over the winter while pool was closed. Opened pool to no FC and white water mold coming out of skimmers when I pulled the gizmos out. Also, my CYA level when from...

Southern California had a lot of rain this year and a few weeks ago our bank had way too much overnight and mud ran down our slide steps and into the pool. We woke up to a very brown pool. We never had this problem the year before so looks like it’s only an issue with large amounts of rain. We...
