TF-100 results! You mentioned above you need to do a SLAM Process, so you have the right idea:
1 - No need to add any stabilizer at this point. Your CYA is closer to 40, so we'll call it 40 which makes your SLAM/Shock FC level a "16" as seen on the [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA].
2 - Just be careful with the muriatic acid. It's strong, so go in stages if you have to. Since your pH seems to be quite high (deep purple) over 8.2, when using PoolMath, enter ranges like "8.2 to 7.4" at first to determine the proper dosage amount. Let the water mix for about 15-20 minutes and check again. You should start to see the color changing. If you need to go lower, then do it again until you get the pH to about 7.2 (orange) which is perfect to start the SLAM Process. If you already added that full gallon of acid, then just re-test in about 20 minutes or so to see how it worked. Safety reminder - never add bleach and muriatic acid at the same time in the same location. Let one mix for a few minutes before adding the other. Consider brushing a bit if needed.
After that, you are ready to SLAM Process the pool. Maintain that FC of 16 until you pass all 3 SLAM criteria. Good luck!
Please help clear something up for me. Why does she need to SLAM a newly plastered pool? Of all the reading and research done on my part it has been said to NOT SLAM a new plastered pool. Am I missing something here?
Again, please forgive my ignorance.
Thank you.
