So happy - finally met all 3 criteria for SLAM! The water was clear all along, but it sparkles now. Thank you all so much for your help & patience.
My test results this morning were:
FC 16
CH 275
TA 120
pH 7.9 (I read that this could be inaccurate due to high FC?)
CYA 60 (this is the test I'm least comfortable with, but definitely between 60 & 70)
Two questions:
1. Do I need to do anything about the TA? One place on TFP regarding SWG I read: "Adjust your Total Alkalinity to 60-80 ppm. (This is IMPORTANT!)"
But other comments made me think it wasn't necessary to adjust.
2. CYA for SWG is recommended to be 60-70. I tested the FC last night & it was 17. Ran the pump all night with the Aqua Pure set to 75%. FC had dropped to 16 this morning. We haven't cleaned the salt water cell since we bought the house last year - plan to do that soon. Should I add stabilizer, or wait till we clean the salt cell?
Thanks for all your amazing help!!
