Yes I have a proper test kit and yes I know what SLAMing is, just could not remember if I needed to adjust any levels before slamming. Anyways, since I didn't get any replies I went ahead and adjusted PH and just started SLAMing on Saturday at 8PM. My first readings were
Chlorine - 0
PH - 8.4 or higher
CYA - 40
CH - 150
TA - 60
Already passed OCLT Sunday night and water crystal clear. I think this is three years in a row I pass OCLT within 24 hour period. Now again this year I run into the problem with FC levels, I adjust to 24 (Mustard Algae level) just in case but I end up a lot higher..... I think Wallmart Bleach is a lot stronger then labeled, I think I was around 34 levels if recall correctly. Maybe that is why I clear out things so quickly and it only takes me a day to pass the test. I could also suspect I have less water then calculated but most other values come out about right when I add the chemicals and you guys helped me estimate my pool volume a couple of years ago. In addition my pool is extra full this year so I Cant imagine having less then 29000 gallons.
Thanks for the link to that page with SLAM instructions, I had the same thing from another post here and it wasn't detailed as to when to do PH, this is a better post.
