I took my water to two different pool stores to test for metals and they both resulted in 0.8 Yes, I actually test the water every 1-2 hours to maintain the SLAM level.

High Iron, oh boy... Thank you for the information! I am on city water.

Hello! I'm still very new to this; this is my second time posting. It was recommended that I try to SLAM my pool due to it constantly turning green when adding chlorine and high CC. I've been performing the SLAM for a few weeks now and the pool has cleared to a light green color. I haven't...

I'm not sure how to detect if it's visible? Do you mean draining and re-filling the pool with new water?

Oh okay, I added it on a recommendation from my neighbor who uses it on his pool. Any recommendation what I can use to eliminate metals if there is any? Should I just wait till after I perform the SLAM to deal with it? The water added to the pool is the city water so I'm not sure what exactly...

Yes, it is very odd.. When Leslie's did the water test a couple of weeks ago the metals didn't appear to be high. They recommended I use soda ash to raise the pH but it also cleared my water as well. Is there a way I can test for metals myself? I will just get by this weekend and then sort it...

Will do, Thank you for the suggestions! I just downloaded the Pool Math App and added my signature! I have another question... Since the SLAM process takes while and I have an event this weekend for the holiday. Is it okay to just get the water back to clear with soda ash and start the SLAM...

Hi @PoolStored & @V___25 ! Thank you for your responses! I did come across the SLAM process and luckily bought the add on with the test kit! What's the best way to bump up the CYA to 30 prior to starting the SLAM process?
