Thanks!

So I started the SLAM process yesterday evening, and my FC was 24 at 10 pm, and 23 at 10 am. I know I am a little over the recommended FC. I am brushing the sides and bottom too. Do I leave my FC where it is, or do I add bleach to get it back to 24ppm?

I was out of town for 4 days, and I couldn't sample my water. I have some algae on the bottom of the pool, and it is starting to turn green. I sampled yesterday and today. Here are my results: 6/7 FC .6ppm PH 7.8ppm TA 110ppm CH 90ppm CYA 50ppm I added 2 1/2 gallons of bleach 6/8 FC 6.2ppm CC...

Hey y'all. So I did the water exchange, and I think it went pretty good. I just got my first round of samples after the exchange. Here are the results: FC 1ppm PH 8 drops to bring it up to a 7.4. TA 90 CH 110 CYA 60ppm Should I add 6 lbs of bacon soda, and 2 gallons of bleach?

Thanks so much! I'm about to start that.

Thanks! Yes I will continue to read through the info you posted. Yes I need to learn how to take care of it the right way. I did the CYA test with half tap/half pool water and I got a 55. So if I multiply that by 2 it’s 110. Do I need to do a partial drain of my pool? I have a liner, so I know I...

FC at 15? Isn’t that high? When you say replace water, you mean drain the pool, and replace the water?

Hey y’all I sampled the 3 samples. Here are the results: FC 4.4 PH took 18 drops to get to a 7.4 TA 50 What should I do y’all think I should do?

Thanks so much! I had to be at work pretty early, but I’m gonna sample for those 3 as soon as I get home this evening.

Ok...I already added the 12. I’m gonna add the 2 gallons right now. When should I sample again?ok Ok I did that. Should I sample tomorrow after I get off work?

The water is clear

I have 24 lbs of baking soda. I’ll add 12 right now. I took out the tablets and I have 5 gallons of bleach.

20,000 gallons

Hey y’all I just finished my samples. FC .4 CC yes there is combined chlorine (it turned pink) PH My water was supposed to turn green when I added the alkalinity indicator, but it only turned pink. I did add the Thiosulfate to naturalize the cl CH 150 CYA greater than 100 I stopped and picked...

I sure will!
