When I'm SLAMming, should I shoot higher than my SLAM target so that it doesn't slip lower than that? Is there a certain amount below that SLAM target that I need to avoid hitting? For example, if my CYA is 40, then my FC minimum is 3, FC target is 5-7, and my SLAM target is 16. But if I dose my...

The standard approach I've heard is that if you've had an algea bloom, you need to wash suits and towels and dry on hot, keep pool tools in the shocked pool to sanitize, and scrub every potential algea spore off ever toy and float that may have touched the water while there might've been algea...

The water has been crystal clear and perfect looking for several days. I brushed well yesterday (and every day this week). I run the pump 24/7. But I've been battling algea for months. I wasn't following TFP in the past, but I would double shock it and it would look perfect just like this . . ...

I decided to wake up in the middle of the night and do it and go back to sleep. So I tested at 9pm and 4am and had exactly 1ppm loss, and exactly .5 CC. Yay! I think I passed, but I'm nervous because it was only 6 hours and it was the maximum acceptable loss amount. Would I have lost 1.5ppm if I...

I'm doing my first proper SLAM with my own FAS-DPD Taylor test. I had barely visible algea which cleared up in the first day, and now I'm on day 4 and water is clear with .5 CC. I have CYA of 50 and am adjusting FC to SLAM level 3-4 times a day. I did my OCLT test at 11pm and 7am and had 2.5ppm...
