    5th Weeks of Chemicals - 2 Week SLAM and Deep End Still Cloudy

    Okie dokie! Well, I’ll keep all of you posted with results. I lowered ph yesterday and the pool was even clearer this morning. About to add the liquid chlorine now and check FC every 2 hours right?

    Also, how will the large amounts of chlorine effect my pool liner and pump/filter, etc.?

    Wowzers those pools look like glass! I can’t wait to see mine the same way! I don’t mind sticking with liquid chlorine but I’ve got to get use to it and find a rhythm with maintenance levels etc.. My ph should be down to 7.2 now, so I’m planning to start SLAM today. Wish me luck! 🤞🏽

    Wow, very good info.! All of this is so crazy b/c I’ve been using same products for over 30 years. This was the very first year that the pool wasn’t covered. This will never happen again!!! Hopefully I’m on the road to recovery! 😂

    It was done days ago, nothing got in pool, and I didn’t see any signs of buildup either. It is what it is and that user clearly started out by sayin “…there is probably human error in here somewhere…”

    Okay, but I plan on going back to the $120 worth of tablets I have once SLAM is complete. I can’t waste them.

    Okay, thank you! I’m so close so I’m really hoping this won’t take long. Any idea how many gallons I should buy today?

    Okay, thank you! Yes, FC was 5. That was a typo on my end b/c it was my first time using that kind of test (powder and droppers) and following directions which are totally different from my other test. So I need to lower the PH first and then start SLAM?

    Okay, I got the test kits and tested a little while ago. I didn’t replace pool sand but used kwikstrip and after the white suds the water came out clear. Pool has gotten a lot clearer. I can see to the bottom of deep end 8ft. Numbers are: FC 5 CC 0 CH 180 AK 80 PH 8.2 CYA 35

    Okay, thank you. Funny thing is, by the time it gets here my pool will be clear! Lol, but I know I’ll need it going forward so it’s all good. 😂

    I thought it had to be the Taylor brand? I purchased on Amazon today so now I’ve gotta wait 10 days for it to arrive. 😩
