SLAM coming to an end?

[mbaskerv]

I'm on day 11 of SLAMing what was a literal swamp, and I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel (actually I can see the main drain! ). The water has turned a tint of bright green (as opposed to a muddy green two weekends ago), and the CC has dropped to 1.0.
Numbers: FC 13 ... CC 1 ... TC 14 ... CYA 30 ... TA 110 ... CH 200 ... pH 7.3.
My understanding is that when the CC drops to 0.5 or less. Presuming that the water is clear when that happens, I perform the OCLT, which I think involves measuring TC after sundown and again before sunup?
With the exception of the chlorine levels, I think the other numbers are close to target? What should I shoot for as far as TC once I pass the OCLT and the water is clear? I'm concerned because I will be away for four days this weekend, and if things progress as they have, it will be just about when I have completed the SLAM - I don't want to have to do-over because I wasn't around to watch it.
I appreciate any input and suggestions - unfortunately I have no one to pool sit in my absence :-(

Good job on the SLAM.

Once your water is crystal clear, then do the OCLT. Read in Pool School on the process, but it is as you state.
The CC is really just an indicator, and not a great one, on things growing in your pool. So up to you if you continue to use reagents to test for that ..

With your CYA at 30 you might consider using a few tablets in a floater during your absence to hopefully keeps things static, at best. Something to consider. You can calculate how much CYA they will add and adjust your FC levels when you return.

Good luck. Take care.

Thanks. What kind of filter "schedule" should I implement once things settle down?

Each pool is different, some can get by with 2 hours some run 24/7. You'll have to figure out what works for your pool.

When you leave town it is a good idea to bring your pool up to shock level for your CYA and if you can float a couple tablets. Be careful when you pull them out the smell can be harmful.
