My DE filter is a big steel 48 sq ft KDDI model that I think must be at least 20 years old and the clamp sometimes leaks . Local guy has a Hayward DE4820 ProGrid D. E. Pool Filter, 48 square foot, vertical grid hes letting go cheap.. i have a Pentair SuperFlo Variable Speed Pump 342001 I bought...

water is crystal clear -- cc 0 FC Overnight was a loss of 1 Thanks for everyones help.

I think i passed the over night test Monday 7/29 700am FC 14 CC.5-1 Monday 11am FC 13 CC .5 Monday 130pm FC 13 CC 0-.5 ( did not turn pink when added the 5 drops of 0003 ) With my cc at close to 0 Im hoping Im done ?

did my best around the light -- cant snorkel like I used to as a younger ladd . Def adding less chlorine Sunday 7/28 8am Fc 16 cc .5- 1 11am FC 14 cc.5 8pm FC 15 cc.5 fingers and toes crossed the overnight test goes well tonight

ok -- but im guessing that involves getting into the pool (which is FC 16) removing some screws and brushing behind the light -- i brush all around the light during my daily pool brushing

sorry guys you lost me -- what am i looking for in regards to the lights ? I also have an attached spa to my pool but I have been sure to add liquid to that and brush it down well . Thanks for all your help and kindness My latest reading sat 5pm FC 13 cc 1

2 lights one on either end of pool no ladders

Fri 1015pm Fc 16 Cc 1 Sat 7/27 730am Fc 13 Cc 1 Was hoping to pass the oclt ... Didn't happen! :(

Update Friday 7/26 1210pm FC 20 CC 1.5 Friday 5:15pm FC 15 cc 1-1.5 Friday 8pm FC 11 cc 1 just added 128oz of 12.5% liquid Chlorine to get the FC shock level back up to 16 per pool calc Water is still crystal clear

awesome ph and TA were fine before I started so Im going to ignore them until the SLAM is done Thursday 6:30pm FC = 0 cc = 1 started the SLAM added 5gal liquid chlorine 12.5 % ran pump/filter all night Thursday 845pm FC = 16 cc = 1.5 Friday 6:30am FC = 10 cc = 1.5 Friday 930am FC...

b/c i dont see any comments on keepin alkanlinity and ph at a certain level once the SLAM has started . post my results in the am

SLAM started -- i have the fc up to shock level. just read the pool school article on slam again -- am i correct in assuming during the process i just need to monitor fc and cc .

When running the oclt test overnight should filter be on or off

yeggim -- thank you for the help and suggestion on where and what to buy . Im going to start the SLAM process over the weekend to give me time to run the tests. Ill post my results here . A bit chilly 61 degrees this am after high 90's all last week !

thanks for all the replies -- I went through the pool school again and at the risk of being dumb questions , I have a few: 1) Ok for the reagents etc to go down the kitchen sink drain after use with the the tf-100 kit 2) are there different levels of liquid chlorine which one should I use...
