Great question....I have just jumped on here to ask basically the exact same questions. Will watch with anticipation.

Hi all....starting my first SLAM today. 2 Questions. 1) Pool calc tells me SLAM FC is just 10.....I don't think I have read if anyone being that low? I am running with a level of 16, guessing that is ok? 2) When testing for FC with the DPD test in my TF100 and my speedstir.....when...

Done, will lift CYA to 30, lower pH to 7.2 and go for it. Will start this weekend when I am home during the day.

Also....I am not sure on this CYA thing. Even though my SWG manual tells me no need to add any, should I get it up to 50 or so before I start the SLAM to ensure no FC is killed of by the sunlight in the process?

Argh.....went to pool store today to pick up the Liquid Chlorine, the have 20L 15-20% so good and strong. When I told them I have algae even though my FC hasn't dropped below 5-6 they said I need an Algaecide, as my Algae must be resistant to the chlorine. I think I know the...

Yep think I might have to go that route.....liquid chlorine is so expensive here, around US$35 per 5Gal container....and I can't find any bulk bleach.

Righto....update: I have added more salt, which has my salt level up to 3600. SWG manual tells me it should be around 4000, but I haven't read of anyone been that high? Levels are now: My test numbers yesterday before the pump turned on were: FC 6 CC 0 Ph 7.5 TA 20 Cya 0 (My SWG doesn't...

BTW.....I see you are in Augusta!! I am looking to come to your neck of the woods to see the Masters next year....any tips on securing hot priced tickets? :)

But with the FC level sitting at 5, even after the SWG had not been running for around 20 hours, shows that Chlorine levels are fine?

Hi all, After some help with how to set up my pool for this coming winter. Reading a bit on here, people seem to empty out lines etc but as we don't get to freezing point over Winter I don't think that's necessary here? We turned the heat pump off 2 weeks ago and the water temp is now down...

So.....after floccing last night....I just did a vacuum and it seems around 70% of the GREEN has vacuumed up! The rest is floating through the water in small particles. Hoping my newly correctly piped filter now clears the water.

I would say a clear transparent green? Just spoke to pool builder, he wants me to use http://www.poynters.co.nz/products/poolgard-Busan.html Says it will work quicker than just chlorine. I see what you guys mean, advice from everyone else always varies. When I shock....any difference if I use...

Hi all.....well I have had a bit of a journey the past few days. After have zero FC after my last OCLT test I became convinced it was my Filter not doing its job. So I called the pool builder (The pool is only 2 months old) and he got the Astral rep around to look at the filter. As soon as he...

Yep correct
