Hello,
New to pool maintenance, and I am at a loss. We've had service techs out, but our pool is still green. PH is 8.4 and Total Alkalinity is 40. I think I need to lower the Ph before I start the SLAM process. We have a 24,000 gallon in-ground pool with a filter, chlorine pool. I need some step by step instructions. I've watched the SLAM youtube videos, but with my PH being high and Alkalinity being low, I do not know what I need to do first. Muriatic acid to lower PH? Then once PH is lowered, how much shock do I need? Or what kind of liquid chlorine do I need? Can I use Clorox bleach? I've had pool techs working on this for about two weeks now, and it's still just as green as when we started. They are great, but I really think we need to SLAM.
Thank you, ARH
