Yes, I am following the SLAM process. My pool was green swamp prior to all this. Is the foam from the Sodium Bicarbonate I added other day? I used quick clean feature in my pump and the foam is dissipating So should I continue to focus on raising FC to 16? TYIA

I did the OCLT test. Last night after I added 3 gallons of LC 9:10pm… FC 9 CC 1.5 TC 10.5 CYA 40 Results this morning- 8/10 FC 9.5 CC 0.5 TC 10 CYA 40 I gained FC. But my water is still foamy and light teal. 😅 What am I not doing right? Do I just focus keep being up the FC? 16 is the aim.

I was not on top of this every two hrs yesterday bc of work. Will be doing that today. Here is this mornings test result: FC- 1ppm CC- 2.5 Ph-7 Cl 0.5 Br 1 CH 125 TA 100 CYA 40 Just added sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH a little more. Added 2 gallons of chlorine. My FC isnt...

I just got in the new filter. Ran it for about 15 mins and redid the CYA! CYA- 40 (was midway 30-40) pH- 7.2 TC- 1 Cl- 0.5 FC- 0.5 I will add liquid chlorine tonight and report back!

Yeah I was using the pool math. I guess I didn’t understand the target PPM. I need to go back and understand that more. Thk you! So add 582 oz all at once right? I’ll do that tonight!

CH- 200ppm Chlorine- 0.5 FC- 0.5 ppm CYA-48 TA-80 PH- 7.0 Br- 1 I will continue slam tonight and add 88oz liquid chlorine. Will continue to brush the pools walls and floor. CYA stabilizer still in sock… should I bring up higher than 48 or remove sock w stabilizer? New filter coming...

This is exactly what I needed to do! I was able to figure this out and clean the filter and pump basket! Everything is working in good condition now. My pool guy finally called me back. 🥰

Sorry yes the photo I have there is not closing off suction to pump. I will have the handle point away from the pump. The return line valve is the first photo and I can’t turn the valve to close off the on going into the heater. Do I need to unscrew the valve and then reposition it inside?

Hello all, I am new to being pool owner and have been trying to figure out how to clean my pump without after gushing out every time. My equipment is below the pool level. I have tried to close the suction valve and not sure if there is anything else I need to do. Pentair filter- It has...
