Green pool, I'm losing faith in the fight!!

Nice work!

Looking for a little advice from everyone on this,

FC = 13
CC = 0
99.9% clear water

Do I add more bleach to 16, to 24, or leave it at 13 and test in the morning for the OCLT?

I would take it to 16. That way on the very remote chance you fail your OCLT you are still SLAMming.

Leave it or take it to 16 either way your there. Great job! Let us know OCLT results.

I threw in a bottle for good measure, I'll give it a bit to mix and test it for a sure number on the front half of the OCLT.

From Pool School:You are done when:A. CC is 0.5 or lower;
B. You pass an OCLT (ie overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less);
C. And the water is clear.
When all three are true, you are done SLAMing and can allow the FC to drift down to normal levels.

I think Your there man !

I was thinking the same thing, but I hate pushing the edge of a threshold on stuff like this.

Testing at 10 AM likely killed it. I'd say you passed myself, but if you want to make sure, try to test at say 10 PM and test earlier in the morning, 7 AM if possible

I'm trying, shaved to 5 hours of sleep to test before the sun hit the pool

Here is what I would do...........................(I SO love and need my sleep!)

I would keep it at slam for two more days (not sure why two but it feels good). I would then call it good!

I don't know if this matters, but the sun doesn't hit my pool till around 11:15.

It probably won't hurt to stop, and it definitely won't to give it another day. Since you are literally losing sleep over it my thought is to keep your FC elevated another day or two and not redo the OCLT unless you have a reason to believe you need to. You can still use it up to 16 and will give you an extra measure of mental well being.

"still use it up to 16" ?

You can swim up to SLAM level, which is 16...? I may have misread that, but up to whatever your SLAM level is. Might be a good idea to let it drop soon to aejust your pH too, just thought of that.

Sorry if any of this is disjointed, I am working so sometimes I can't keep everything straight

No I thought that's what you meant, just double checking.

[cdkoster]

I think we can call it done guys!

A) CC < 0.5
B) OCLT < 1 (~0.5 loss last night)
C) Beautifully clear water

You guys have been amazing.

Anything else I should know while letting her come out of SLAM?
