0.2 is correct. Essentially 0 as I haven't touched the pool or ran the pump in over a week.

No I have the Taylor kit. Thanks, I just added the acid and will start SLAM soon? like 30 minutes? - - - Updated - - - Another question, the last time I SLAM (the beg of summer) my CYA was so high my shock goal was like 23! But now looking at the chart I think I only need to SLAM to 10? I...

So I have been following the TFP all summer and my pool has looked and tested great. Then about a week and half ago, my cord to my pump fried and we couldn’t run the pump until it was replaced. I kind of just left it. By the way, all summer even though I run my SWG I still have to add bleach...

I was at the end of my SLAM when I ran out of reagent. After four days of leaving my pool alone, my CC is zero, the water is clear, and my FC went from 0.6 to 0.2 overnight. I was going to restart the SLAM this morning but decided to bring my FC up to the desired result and run a OCLT tonight...

I posted 4 days ago that I was in the middle of SLAMing my pool when I ran out of 0871 reagent. Lesson learned. I kind of just let the pool be for the last 4 days, adding no chlorine and only running the pump a few hours a day. I just got my reagent today, and my numbers are FC 0.6 CC 0 PH 7.4...

Alright, so I have checked several stores in town to no avail. I will order from Amazon tonight, I am going to order the huge bottle. It says R-0871-E...what does the E stand for? Is this the correct replacement?!! So what do I do now? The last few tests yesterday were about FC 24. I kept...

I'm in Bakersfield, and I bought the one I thought was recommended. I was brand new to this site when I ordered it, and I ordered it with the recommendation of this site. Had I known one was more common I would have absolutely purchased the other.

In the middle of my first SLAM, I've used almost an entire bottle of the 0871. I can't find it anywhere in town. I'm afraid I'm going to have to start the SlAM all over if I can't find it?

Got it! And my kids can get back in the pool when all the above criteria are met, AND when the FC drops to 31 or lower? It's actually safe to swim in when the FC is In The 20's?

It has FINALLY connected! What I wasn’t understanding was that you had to continuously add bleach until you reach the recommended #. I was thinking that using PoolMath, that amount would get you there on the first try. Now I understand that the bleach is being eaten away. Thanks for being so...

So I added 3x bottles of Bleach (it was the exact amount to bring the FC to 31 after I tested the PH and it was 7.2. I just tested the water (approx 3.5 hours later) and the FC says it is 24. The CC is under 0.5 (it barely turned pink at all). I haven’t vacuumed it or backwashed it yet (It is...

Yes my CYA is high. Should I attempt to drain that when the FC is under control? I have no clue how to set the SWG run time, it doesn’t seem to have a %, just an on/off and set the hours. The manual says run for 3-4 hours per day, I was running for 6 and getting no where which is why I am now...

As suggested on this forum, I am starting my SLAM process. I just added the Muratic Acid in order to lower my Ph from 7.8 to 7.4. I will test that soon. As for SLAM, I just want to make sure I understand the process from Pool School. 1st: I add the bleach while pump is running (PoolMath is...

I didn’t realize you had to fill in ALL the categories if you are only adjusting one. Duh! Ok, now it says 10oz. I am CURRENTLY at TA=80, PH=7.8, Borates 0. Does 10oz sound better?

It is telling me to add only 1.5 ounces...dang and we bought two gallons! Thank you so much, I am going to add it now and hopefully will be able to start the SLAM process in an hour. Does that sound about right?
