@Rancho Cost-a-Lotta I decided to add calcium chloride. I added 45lbs of Leslies Hardness plus (it was the best cost/benefit option in my area) to move it up 200ppm. I have a water fall feature from hot tub to pool which runs all day so hopefully that provides enough aeration? Thanks again for...

Hi @Rancho Cost-a-Lotta and @mknauss - updated numbers here after some chemical additions: FC 7.0 pH 7.3 TA 60 CH 350 CYA 70 Salt 3000 CSI -0.78 So, looking a lot better! Pool math still shows a flag for out of spec for CSI - should I take action? Pool math also indicates pH could be a bit...

ok thanks @Rancho Cost-a-Lotta and @mknauss! - going to the home depot today for some stabilizer (pool math says 12 lbs, I think I will start with a bit less as Mike mentions) and get that moving up. Once I get that into the range of 60, I will test again. Be in touch again soon.

ok @Rancho Cost-a-Lotta - after time and yet another business trip the SLAM and Algae process is complete. So let's see if I did a good job in a few weeks! I did a full test today and found the following: FC - 9.5 CC - 0 pH 7.8 TA 60 CH 175 CYA 30 CSI -0.48 So it feels like the right next step...

Good morning - @Rancho Cost-a-Lotta - Mike - I started my SLAM yesterday. What I see: 4/13, 3pm, FC was 2.5 - I added a liquid CL 4/13 5pm, FC was 7.0, I added a bit more CL 4/13 7pm, FC was 11 - my target was 10 per the chart so I left it be This morning: 4/14, 7am, FC was 10.5, CC was zero...

Thanks Mark - Yes, this is my exact situation. As the pool warms up, I get it always in the shade side, I brush, etc and it goes away and then comes back after some time. I am excited to try SLAMing, and see if I can get the algae out. I will report back soon.

thanks Mike! I just use the city water for fill ups. A check on the tap water indicates a CH of 75ppm. I assume there is not much I can do about that? I am going on a quick work trip and will start the SLAM on Thursday this week.

Hi All Very excited to join the TFP community. I just got my TFT100, and ran my first test. My goal is to eliminate a small but persistent mustard algae that forms slowly in the shady side of the pool. The pool is generally very clear water. My numbers: FC 2.5 PH 7.2 TA 50 CH 175 CYA 30 Salt...
