Chlorine / CYA Chart
We help our users know just how much chlorine they need in their pools. Using this chart you will see ideal chlorine range and your Shock Level for a Slam.
SLAM – Shock Level and Maintain
SLAMing your pool is the best way to eliminate algae, sanitize your pool and get your water crystal clear. If you have algae, or the CC level is above 0.5, or the free chlorine (FC) level is zero, you should SLAM the pool. You cannot do this overnight…it often takes several days to see it completed…no shortcuts. If you are maintaining proper FC levels there is no need to SLAM (or shock) weekly, or on any other regular schedule.
