tada...... I have a blue pool again, thanks all. lessons learnt this time. 1) the correlation between CYA and chlorine whilst slamming is critical 2) try and test and feed chlorine every 3 hours, in the long run it will be quicker. 3) and most importantly, this is an amazing forum with amazing...

I can definitely do more - I thought x3 times was a bit excessive

thanks also for the chart - I have left the default of 10 in Pool Math. I'm probably not putting enough chlorine in. Really appreciate your time Maddie, in helping me

Maddie, the 22 was before I treated - I will do a full test in the morning.

Hi Maddie, I will take a full reading again tomorrow: The last full set I took was: yesterday at 13:25 fc = 6 ph = 7.6 TA = 150 CH = 220 CYA = 22 I know that the TA is high, but want to sort the algae first. I released the CYA was low and needed to be adjusted for the slam, so added 17oz of...

Hi all, me again.... I am learning more and more every season, but still very novice. I'm looking for a bit of reassuring 'yep, you're doing the right thing, keep going' I have a green pool again, not sure why this time, but definitely green. I am using pool math and slam'ing the pool. I am...

JJ sorry took a while to respond, I've been working away. I definitely did - I just found the 'slam' button in the Math log app!!! After 3 days the pool is looking like this. I know it's said everywhere on this site but I know I would have spent a fortune on people telling me the wrong...

Just an update - the slam process is working and there is a very different look to the pool now. This site and the app are amazing - thank you to everyone who provides guidance, info and help. I'm sure I would be many, many £s out of pocket, paying for experts in the UK to help me. I did...

Thank you - I will carry on slamming

Just to let you know I've cleaned the pool and taken stats again in Poolmath: FC = 6.5, PH=7.3, TA = 120, CH=256 & CYA=42 But pool is cloudy, bucket of water from the crystal clear - Any suggestions, is it safe to swim? Many thanks ... Rob

Thanks for the advise all, I've been vac'ing twice a day and the FC is stable and still the pool is cloudy. I even got in touch with a guy that has 30 years experience and he was stumped, in fact his reason was 'chlorine lock' - a quick search on here, I ignored that. The strange thing is that I...

That Joe - we can't get those kits in the UK. I'm going to test again in the morning and see what the FC numbers are and forget the rest for the minute - thanks

Hi all, any pointers please. I've learnt so much from here but I'm at a loss now... the weather has been full sun for a while in Southern UK and the pool has been cloudy for a while, I can't see the bottom of the pool, and everything that Poolmath tells me doesn't seem to work. My readings...

I just wanted to give you an update. The slam worked and I can now keep Chlorine in the pool, does seem that it was the Ammonia. I am once again educated by the members on this site. Thanks for all those that took their time to help me, really appreciated. Thanks
