I’m confused. Every forum I’ve read says to only shock if the FC is low or my CCs are above 0.5. My FC is 10, CCs 0, pH is 7.9-8, TA 170, and CYA 40. Are these appropriate SLAM levels? Here is a pic of the pool.

If there was a haze, it was very minimal. I kept the pump running, brushed the walls and the floor of the pool to the drains, backwashed and rinsed, then added two gallons of full strength muriatic acid, and in the morning, it was totally clear.

FC is 7, CC 0, TA is 160-180, CYA 30, pH is 7 using the tf-100 test kit.

So, just leave the filter running and wait?

I dipped a quart mason jar as deep as my arm would reach and the glass came up clear, no particles at all. The walls and the bottom are not slimy. No sign of algae.

Low, like 25-30. I put quite a bit in yesterday.

New in-ground vinyl salt pool, 20K gallons, green and cloudy after every rain. Added 2 gallons of muriatic acid, full strength, and it cleared up over night. TA was still high, FC 7, CC 0, TA 160-180, pH was around 7.0. Bad rain last night, green and cloudy again this morning. No algae, just...

pH is about 7.2, testing with the TF-100

New 20K gallon in ground vinyl salt water pool became very cloudy after rain. Clear as day for the first week. Know TA is high. Numbers are FC 3, CC 0, TA 210, CYA 30. New start, just added CYA yesterday.
