OK, thanks to all of you who helped me through the process. I'm confident that I've accomplished all three criteria for slamming and I've allowed the chlorine level to drop down to 6 ppm. I still test the water each night. First to add bleach to bring the level up to 6 ppm, and then again, an...

I had to go away for a couple of days. I had a relative continue to add bleach to the pool daily. I was adding an average of 1 jug of 121 oz. 8.5% Clorox to the pool, so I had that person continue to add daily, but all at once instead. That was for 3 days. When I returned, the algae was almost...

Thanks Kim! - - - Updated - - - Thank you also Lisa!

Now that I'm getting close it's easier to love. I'll have more time to learn and hopefully be able to contribute.

Last night, 10:15 PM, I was at 12 ppm, and this morning, 5:00 AM, I was still at 12 ppm. Just waiting for the algae to die. It is going away daily. I just thought it would die much quicker.

Starting pool after refilling: I wasn't able to change the cartridge filters for 48 hours, and this is how they looked today before cleaning. No Algae

Thanks Kim, The story of solo is this. My cat was named Solo. He died last year at the age of 19. My wife and I found him in the woods outside her house. And she aptly named named him Solo. And when I would come home at night I would yell out for so Solo-man, and he would come running. So the...

Last night I must have slipped. I can't figure out why my FC level was so low. At 9:00 PM FC 8.5 ppm. Really bothered me. I was adding the correct amounts of Bleach throughout the day, but the level was very low when I checked it for the final time last night. So I bumped it back up to 12 ppm +...

Keeping it at 12 ppm FC. Still have a film of algae along the wall. Brushing 3 times a day along with maintaining chlorine level.

Good morning! So I started at 3:30 am brushing the pool. I was going to change the filter, but it's too dark to see. I started testing the water around 3:45 am, but before that, last night, I added bleach at 8:00 PM. I took a reading at 9:15 PM and got an FC @ 12.5 ppm. (Yes, then I went to...

So I was wrong. I added chlorine to the pool last night and took a reading an hour later. At 9:00 pm my FC was 14 ppm. This morning, 4:00 am my FC was at 11.5 ppm. You live and learn. Thanks to everyone for hanging in there with me and thanks for the encouragement Pogueld. Going out to brush...
