New Pool Owners with Chlorine Troubles!

[kimkats]

It is SO nice to see someone that gets it so fast! You are going to LOVE how your pool looks after you are done with your SLAM!

You only thought your water was clear! You will be able to read the heads/tails on a coin once you are done with your SLAM.

You're doing awesome! When I
did my slam, I too had to work.! I would over shoot in the morning - taking it up to mustard shock level, test as soon as I got home and then every 1-2 hours until bed. It's time consuming, but is so worth it in the end! Keep up the great work. Your new knowledge will be so empowering.

Thank you everyone, with all the help and advice it is making this process a lot easier!! Yes it is time consuming but in the end it is going to be worth it when the pool is nice and clear and we can finally swim in it. I love learning new things and this has been a knowledgeable experience!!

If you are trying to do an OCLT, you need to retest a half hour after your last addition to know exactly what your FC is, not just what you calculate it to be.

Hope you did this again if you made any additions you didn't mention...
