It is slowly clearing. I hope by this time next week I have a clear pool I've used over 30 jugs (121oz) of bleach so far
Safety to swim while SLAMing is based on two things.
1. FC must be below SLAM level. If you let FC dip a little, go swimming, and raise it back to at or SLAM level when you're done, I don't think you'll lose any ground.
2. The pool must be clear enough to see a person underwater. If somebody goes down, you need to be able to see/find them.
Obviously #1 is easy. Simple math, right? #2 is the tough one. That one is going to be determined by your judgement and comfort level. Other than those two things above, I don't see any reason why the water itself would be unsafe to swim.
Now you can just cruise along the rest of the season! Be sure to show it off to the neighbors as much as possible.Hey guys! I thought I'd update y'all. My pool has been sparkly clean for 2 days now, I maintained shock level anyway, just to be safe. I did the OCLT this morning and passed with flying colors. I started this last Thursday night (adding bleach) and today I can officially say the SLAM is done! Not too bad! I honestly thought it would take a lot longer. Btw, we used right at 60 jugs of bleach, under $200 with tax.
I'll get a pic as soon as I can. Stormy days don't make for good pics.
