Just to close this thread. Thanks to TFP SLAM process, I finished my SLAM. 5/1 started SLAM 5/21 Finished SLAM Took about 3 weeks. I was a little impatient, But I think I agree with all the posts on this forum.. Just have to stay with it and it will clear up eventually. Doing the SLAM for...

DAY 13 ... I have NOT made much progress on the SLAM. Water is still cloudy. I realized my FILTER is not doing a good job, (started cleaning filter daily and immediately after the vaccuum). I have new filter grids on order. I am making really slow progress. Yesterday, I am able to see the...

Thanks for that advice. I missed the vacuum daily part in the slam process. Started the vacuum. I vacuumed the pool twice today. I have been maintaining around 20 Fc. I have only been adding a half a gallon per day. I feel I could even maintain the FC BY turning on my SWG and a little add...

Day 4 passed the OCLT test but water is still cloudy. FC 24.5 CC 0 I can see (very hazy on shallow end) some leaves at the bottom of pool. I haven't really gotten a chance to vacuum the pool, since opening because I was never able to see the bottom of the pool. I guess I have to maintain...

I measured the CYA again.. It is reading 40.. (This is one of the reading that I am never very sure). But to be safe I will target FC shock level to 20 as per the change assuming a CYA level of 50. Will keep at it for a couple days.

This year, with the unusually warm winter in Northeast, I opened to a find a green Pool instead. I have pool opning/closing by a pool guy and I do the regular maintenance using TFP method. 5/1. - Opened Pool and started Slam. I added SALT, Calcium Chloride and Muriatic Acid and CYA. The pool...

When I use Calcium Chloride (icemelt) to increase the calcium, the chloride in the Calcium Chloride seems to have an affect on the SWG reading. After adding the idemelt, My Taylor Salt test reads 2700 whereas the SWG reads anywhere from 3100 to 3300.

Do I have to Do anything about the Calcium levels?

Thank you for you Prompt responses. Based on above Test Results, My CSI : -0.66 By letting the PH drift towards 7.8 , CSI drops to -0.39. I will target a PH of 7.8 Earlier this year I tried to bump up my FC, while I still had my pool service. It was around 6 and My pool guy added Chlor-out...

Hi all - First year pool owner, moved to this Property last Fall. For weekly maintenance, I used a pool service last year and continue this year. I purchased a TF100 kit this spring and started regular testing to get familiar, while I had the pool service every other week. I have been regularly...
