Ok so I’m getting a little discouraged here, I’m getting some test results that seem to be jumping around still so it’s hard to tell if I’m passing the ONCL test or not anymore. The pool was clear when I started slamming and just barely failing the ONCL test and that’s been a week ago. I’ve...

Yes I’m swirling while doing the drops, and I don’t usually slow down too much toward the end. Just enough so that I don’t over do it. I think I’m just gonna start going with the first test result instead of doing three

Ok cool, I think I’m gonna try and mess with the light today if I have time. My only other issue is that I’m getting different readings between multiple FC tests now. My testing process is: Go to the same place on the deep end away from returns or anything. Fill and dump the tube 3 times. Go...

Hey guys, so I actually passed the ONCL test last night. I’m going to continue slamming maybe through until the weekend just to make sure. I may still try and scrub behind the light and under the drain but I’m undecided. If I decide to add stabilizer this weekend would that cloud up the water...

Yeah theyre just fiberglass steps, so maybe theyre alright. The light seems to just have the one screw at the top so maybe thats a straight forward one. Im thinking turn off pool pump, flip the breaker for the pool, check the light and make sure its no longer got power, and then remove light...

The steps and built in seats are kind of like hollow, is it possible for water to get behind those? the pool is probably 15-20 years old so i would imagine water works its way back there. Aint no way to scrub behind those is it? lol

Ok so i can still use the pool during a slam? I just wasnt sure because the PH isnt being monitored that it was safe to swim, like i wasnt sure if it would be too high or too low. Yeah I was wondering about scrubbing behind the light, I just dont wanna mess anything up removing it and...

First Slam check in. So my pool was opened may 14th. The people who opened it used 5 or so bags of powder shock and some algae bomb so the pool was fairly blue when opened, just cloudy. The weeks following I had just been trying to get my levels right and waiting on a Taylor 2006 test kit. As...

Ok gotcha. I am waiting on my reagent replacment kit to come in the mail. Should I wait to SLAM until that comes in, and just pour a half gallon of chlorine in per day like mknauss suggested? Also is there any harm in vacuuming now? Thanks a lot for the help, I planned on researching and...
