During the earlier parts of the slam you want to test as often as possible and keep it at slam level each time. First 2 days of my slam earlier this summer I checked every 1.5-2 hr and added back. Later I would check it every few hrs on break from work.

I can say as a person who recently found the site and helped me go from green to clear. The testing is really only fc/ph each day. It takes about 5 minutes then another few minutes to add chemicals. I have left my fc levels on the higher side of the chart so if I miss a day I don’t feel it’s too...

I thought for sure I would have had to drain and refill as well. It’s funny as I was all excited for a few days just saying omg it’s blue not green ooohhhh now I can see the bottom. So satisfying the day you go my slam is done

I had the same issue during my slam. Wasn’t able to figure it out. But since slam checking only 1 time a day no problems. I’m guessing as I was checking so often maybe it hadn’t all got mix through.

First pic is start 2nd is 1 week later using the SLAM process. It does work, and when you first open your test kit you will think omg how do I do this but most of the test are very simple to complete

To help ease your mind a little I was in almost the exact place as you about 6 weeks ago. I had been to the pool store 20 times with 20-50 spent each trip. I found this site and with the help of the amazing people here I have a crystal clear pool for me and the family. The first part of doing...

I have a much smaller above ground pool, but from what I have learned making the switch to a tfp is that once you get it setup maintenance is relatively quick and definitely won’t cut into much of your swimming / bbq time. I sped about 10 minutes a day doing a quick test for fc and ph then...

Congrats on the clear water keep slamming sounds like you are getting closer

I use the hd liquid chlorine and it works great and cheapest in my area. The one thing to look out for is the date codes listed on the box. When I went last week last week they were all over the place. It uses the Julian calendar and I saw some with 22045 ( February) and others with 22139 (May)...

I am far from an expert( there are many here to help) but 1 month ago I was exactly in your shoes of having absolutely no idea how to get my green pool clean. With the help of everyone here within 1 week of getting my test kit to measure my green pool is crystal clear. It can be frustrating but...

You can just use pool math app. Enter your current (0) until your test kit comes and set the desired to the ppm

Finally got a chance to donate so happy for this site
