I have just read through the whole thread. I must tell you that I am on the other side of this one. I am a tenant who decided to take control of a bad pool and make it better. Boy is my landlord happy with me!! The pool is not perfect by any means. It was left bad and open for many years. But the water is clean, clear to the bottom and is great to swim in. I have some work to do to remove metals. I know this. Pool School has told me how to fix it. I am just waiting for the season and the finances to do it.
In answer to your question. At this point it's very simple. Test, input into PoolMath, add to get back to required FC. Wait and hour or two. Repeat. Continue until the drop between testing is small. Testing and adding can then be stretched out to three or four hours. Eventually FC will hold between tests. You really don't want to test less then 4 times a day. That is usually only suggested in cases where there is no other option. The more you can test and add, the faster a SLAM usually progresses.
