Should I worry? Continue slam or not? First night I started slam I had 0 FC loss over night I kept it at 18 all day just in case last night I lost 1 FC, now that still falls in the stop category but what is the reason for this?

Maybe I dont type in complete thoughts. Yes I am in a SLAM but I also did an OCLT, I guess that doesnt make sense but that is what I am doing. Last night I brought FC to 18.5 as tested at 11pm tested this morning at 6am and FC was 18.5 and CC is 0.0 At 10am FC was 17 added bleach at 3pm FC was...

OK, SLAM is started or at least the OCLT is. 3.2 bottles of 8.25 is in brushed the complete pool and filter is purring away we will see what happens by morning, I am thinking I will keep FC at 18 or so all day even if it passes tonight. The usage of chlorine has went down every day for the past...

My new post wasnt asking the same stuff. I got a reply on the first one, but honestly by the time i was finished posting the question I had answered my own (didnt follow the advice from this site that I had already been reading about). I started the pool with this sites advice but then let the...

Are the answers to pool problems always the same? I merged your thread since you ended up asking the same questions in this new thread. Do not start multiple threads asking the same things. jblizzle I posted an algae problem the other day in the algae section, got a response that said "slam...

Well I figured as much on the chlorine level that is why I added more. After reading more and more and playing with pool calculator I believe than when I switched to 8% or maybe even on the 10 I wasn't really checking what the levels were after just the next day and assuming that I had been...

First post, have been stalking the site since January and have done a lot of reading about how to set up the pool weather to bury or not, pool chemistry and pool school etc. Things have been a bit shaky but I got them cleared up and pool has looked great for over a month, crystal clear and very...
