Thanks! I think I'm past slam. FC not going down at all over night. CC is below .5 just very little tiny dead algae im vacuuming. It's now been two weeks at SLAM levels. Quick question though. The Pool math calculator says TA to be between 80-120 BUT Pool School says 60-80, 90 MAX. So which...

that's awesome! We are on the other side of town right at Traces Golf Course.

the R-0600 and yellow side for chlorine only goes to 5 for me..... for cya 40 you need to be in between 5-7 right? Even at the lowest of CYA 30, its 5.

Yeah, I just meant after the slam process, I'm keeping steady at 20 (40 drops which is a lot of 0871 product even after buying a 2 oz bottle) FC for my CYA of 50. I just meant AFTER the slam process. Testing chlorine every day or every other day, if there was a faster slightly easier way than...

OK thanks, its slow but surely working, still after a week algae keeps clumping up a little at the bottom. Also, with a CYA of 40 or 50, you need 5-7 or 6-8. Is there an easier way to test the chlorine rather than the dust, drop method. I know there is R-0001 and R-0001 which is faster but all...

Thanks. I will upgrade all my info soon. I know PH tests dont work at slam level chlorine. But im sure its changed a bit since its rained while ive been slamming for 5 days. Do I still not let the chlorine get a little slower so I can test my PH?

Any advice? This is my filter after 2 days of constantly running and not cleaning. And 5 total days of SLAMming. Still regular algae? The stuff at the bottom of the pool is so fine my vacoom will not picky it up and cant puck up by hand. I gues I need to really get a vacuum that goes to waste.

So time for an update. I've been slaming since Saturday. CYA 50, shock level at 20. Saturday and Sunday I checked EVERY 2 hours all day both days kept at 20. Yesterday and today, I checked in the morning and after work. So it has cleared up DRASTICALLY. This is what it looks like as of right...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WKKC9K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details We will stop using the algaecide (only used it once) immediately and try slaming it again. So how does one know if it's just "plain ole algae" or mustard algae? As slaming techniques is different for each one. What's...

This is it sitting on the bottom, clear water.
