I'm SLAMing and am concerned I will add too much CYA because I've read it takes a while to show up.
Pool is pretty green.
Test kit K2006
FC 1.0
CC 2.0
pH 7.4
TA 80
CH 500
CYA appears 0 (it is not even 30 and that is the lowest number on my test kit).
I added enough CYA two days ago to supposedly raise it to 30 but it is not showing up yet. I didn't do the sock method as I hadn't read that part yet (doh!).
I've read I am supposed to proceed with the SLAM as if the CYA is there. The calculator is directing me to add about 128oz each time I check the FC, but that doesn't seem to raise FC by more than 0.5 at a time. It seems that I should be adding a lot more chlorine to get to the recommended 10FC.
Please advise what you would do. Many thanks.
