Thanks. You’re awesome. Wow! 1000 Huh. Ok I’ll try to get some good tests. Should I wait until I’m done SLAMing to take CH test? I know it useless to do pH test during SLAM

Hi. Thanks for replying. I have a 20,000 gallon inground pool. Plaster. Sand filter. Taylor test kit K-2006. I think I may have figured out how to add a signature. Let me know if it didn’t work. FC 11-16 still SLAMing. CC 0. pH was 7.2 at start of SLAM. TA was 90. CH was 400. CYA was 40

Hi, I just started taking care of my pool October 1 to cut back on expenses. My pool was green so I found this website and started SLAM last week. The past 2 days my pool has been crystal clear and CC is 0. Still working on OCLT. But I read a post that encourages using DE. It said don’t use...
