Water temp will not be going down anytime soon, so I can look forward to my CYA “taking care of itself”. Thank you for the info. Just added chlorine to bring my FC up to 20.

Thank you. Will my CYA go down over time ? Evaporation, filter flushing etc.....

Added 1/2 gal of Muriatic Acid. Waited 2 hrs of high speed pump time. PH now at 7.2 FC 10.5 CC .5 TC 11 No algae for 2 days now !!! YAY !! How are these results ? Also, I cannot measure my CYA till I get more Regent delivered. Am I going to have to get used to testing my water everyday, and am...

Trying to get rid of the algae. It is here everyday, except today. looks like the SLAMing is working. Should I drain more water to lower my CYA, so my chlorine lasts longer ?

I do have an aerator. I rarely use it.....honestly I did not think it was that important to the chemistry balance......thank you for the tip. I will turn on now and do some research on TFP.

No sir, I do not have this test kit. I just have my normal test kit as prescribed in this forum. I use this once a week. Test strips the other 6 days of the week. Should I get this test kit, before I SLAM ?

Thank you sir.........Kinda what my plan is i guess.............. I saw the other posts about "bathroom" cleanouts being used, but I assume the flow rate would be poor. Back outside I go, although I will wait for our rain to stop. Thank you all for the help and have a prosperous New Year !!!
