Ok, as of last night my water was still cloudy even though i didn't have any CC and I passed the OCLT. I was going to keep SLAMing and bring the FC to Shock level, but I forgot to do it last night.. BUT..... I see that the water has started to clear up a little, I am not able to see my 3 pool...

Thats a very good question... My pressure guage on top of the pump / filter cover is busted -- not giving me any reading. However, I do feel my skimmer pulling nice suction, and I also have very good pull on the vaccum port on the wall of the pool. And my Fountain is strong and so are my return...

Just tested a few times and made my wife re-tested my test -- CYA is 35 CC = ZERO FC = 7 ppm Water is still cloudy -- according to CYA chart I need to maintain a FC Shock level of 16ppm and Pool Calculator tells me to add 81 oz of 10% chlorine FC Goal: Not Setup Add 81 oz of 10 % trade...

Water was greenish - with some visible algae --- I got rid of the algae and now water is cloudy blue. I have the filter running 24/7 --- Brand new Filter cartridges were replaced in the beginning of the season.

I will re-check the CYA a few times to be certain.... Here is another question I had ----> I am assuming that the goal of SLAMing is to expose the ( "organics'' - algae ) - to a constant prolonged FC Shock level at which they become destroyed. Lets assume that based on my current CYA 80 - I...

I have been slamming for over 2 weeks --- I have bought the correct FAS-DPD KITS. Last Thursday I had a CYA of 80 ---- i tested last night and my CYA was around 50 ppm This morning my FC was 15ppm - my PH was over 8ppm -- I did the Overnight FC Loss test (OCLT) -- it was both 15ppm last...

Questions / Theories on maintaining FC SHOCK shock level while SLAMing. I am assuming that the goal of SLAMing is to expose the ( "organics'' - algae ) - to a constant prolonged FC Shock level at which they become destroyed. Lets assume that based on my current CYA 80 - I need a FC shock level...

-After adding R-0871 FAS-DPD Reagent drop wise into the test tube, after water changes color form Pink to white.... a few minutes later the water start turning light pink again and then progressively redder/ pinker -- if i leave it in the test tube for a few hours it will eventually become...

" Do not use that for the OCLT or for daily maintenance. " So what your saying is that for the OCLT test I need to use the 10mL sample rate and add the correct amount of R-0871 drops -- in order for it to be precise ? Also, I am assuming that I will need to get extra R-0871 to last me ?

I took my chemical readings this morning: PH 7.8 CYA 80 TA 90 FC 10PPM I dumped 1.5 gallons of 10% liquid Chlorine. 4 hours later.... my FC is 16 PPM ---- My SHOCK FC should have been 31 PPM based on Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart 1) Is the reason that my FC reading is only 6pmm higher...

I have filter cartridges just replaced a month ago. PH went down to 7.8 now. I am continuing to apply PH Down until it gets to 7.2, Do I go back to SLAMing the pool then ?

no zero - shock or pucks outside of the liquid chlorine 10%. - - - Updated - - - NO ZERO - SHOCK OR PUCKS OUTSIDE OF THE LIQUID CHLORINE 10%. I will re-test again in a few hours. - maybe the test with filling up the little measuring tube and adding the mixed pool water with the Regent until...

Thanks for all the replies... Another question: Before I started SLAMing I had CYA @ 57-60 level ---- now after a few days its showing i have 80 CYA. Could the true levels of my CYA reading be off because of all the chlorine I have been dumping in ?

I'm not dumping 6 gallons in all at one time, I'm dumping it in at 6 hour intervals, so I am assuming that the Sun is burning some of it off. MY Liquid Chlorine is 10% But YES, Hopefully I will get the new test kit by Monday and will have more accurate results. As of right now, There is...
