    Should I turn ON my SWG - FC and TA slightly high for 1 week

    Title says it all. If you look at my logs, my FC and TA is consistently higher than the range, but not by much. I haven't had the SWG turned on for a few days. Should I keep it off? Not sure if this makes a difference but we've had unusually cold weather (mid 60s vs high 70s) for this time...

    Brand New Pool Opening - Chemistry all messed up, what is the order of operations?

    No, why, is it supposed to look like that or is there supposed to be more thickness?

    Also, not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I've had my SWG turned off for 2 days since I've had high FC, was trying to bring it down and it's also been unseasonably cold and a heavy rain last night. Do any of these factors play into consideration?

    https://troublefreepool.com/mypool/1x0yER I performed the OCLT and it seems that I don't have any algae. FC maintained at 11.5. could it be just an extremely dirty DE filter? Would it make sense to completely remove the de filter, rinse it with a hose and put it back?

    Those are all of my test results. I was on heavy duty cleaning mode before I started testing, I guess I only started testing 3 days ago

    A few other things I should note: The pool company opened up my pool I think did a bad job because they dumped a bunch of chlorine and didnt follow the SLAM instructions. They dumped the following: 2 gallons of 'Mega Super Shock' - 12.5 % strength sodium hypochlorite 4 gallons of 'Pool...

    https://api.poolmathapp.com/share/qYnNKV3 I hope this link helps. I'm honestly at a loss I don't even know where to begin. All I know is the chemistry isn't balanced. Where should I start?
