Pool opened yesterday by cool company who despite my insistence to just take off the cover (which I cannot do), clearly added chemicals to my pool.

Current #s;

FC 14
CC 0
CYA 30
PH 8.2 (i added muriatic acid to bring this down before remembering the test isn’t reliable that that FC/CYA level)
CH: 250
TA: 80

So I am above SLAM levels. It is my understanding it would not be safe to swim?

Correct, but just barely over. If you don't add anymore chlorine, it should drop to 12 or lower quickly, then you'll be good. :swim:

Ok thanks. I didn’t add anything. Lots of sun and I am still cleaning out smaller bits of organic material so maybe I can get it to dip while the suns still out.
