I also will move the sock to the return and keep the pump on until you finish the slam

Don't need to test for CC until your water is clear

Hard to tell from the night time pic. How clear is the water in the deep end?

my FC reading is 33 last night, and 33 again this morning!....CYA still at 30

 

[Piolin]

Don't add more CYA until you finish slam, I think you will finish soon

The water looks great! This thread should be stickied as proof that SLAM works.

When I started, I added 4 gallons of bleach, an 2 hours later I was still at 1.5 FC... I added another 4 gallons... Only at that point did I see the FC increase. Kept brushing every hour and adjusted the FC one more time. This morning the pool looked great!!

Great! I take it you had CC of no more than 0.5?

 

[Piolin]

I think if the water is clear is time for a OCLT, I think you will pass.. Good job!!! Congratulations
