Thanks Everyone...My only concern/ thought process with adding directly versus diluting with pool water in 5 gal bucket and then adding is that acid is heavier than water ....didn't want to add directly and have it sit on vinyl on bottom of the pool.

Thanks....Checked Pool Store and Wally World....didn't have it so I had to go to Tractor Supply :-)

I'm lowering my TA using Muriatic Acid.....All I could get was Kleen Strip Green 90% Lower Fume. I was wondering if this new kind of liquid muriatic acid is OK.....Also have above ground pool so I figure use 1/4 to 1/3 cup diluted in 5 gal bucket of water would be safe for vinyl and see how...

Thanks :)

Sorry...CYA is 56....so 22 and below it's safe.

MITBeta...I think he has the Warrior SE....Fronzizzle....If I am correct I think that cleaner was designed for In-Ground Pools.

Morning All....Is there any FC level I should wait for to allow people to swim after a SLAM? Day 1 Post SLAM results are as follows: FC 18.4 TCL 18.4 PH 7.5 ALK 191 CH 165 CYA 56 CSI -0.06 Thanks!

Hey T...Yes, I use them on my AG..brb..I'll take a pic for you.

Rich..I am right above you in MA. I find it true that you will possibly get a cleaner opening with a solid cover however I use a Mesh for our area with a pillow. I use this because The mesh will still capture all the leaves etc, but will allow the water to pass thru from those HUGE snow...

Cool Home, I would just follow what duraleigh stated and trust the system...and let the chlorine do it's job. The normal progression is green to less green to hazy white (this occurs as the algae and organic matter dies off) and finally to clear as your filter does it's job. Vacuum up all that...

Slam process completed; met the final 3 criteria. Posted pic below of pool after Slam this morning...Lessons learned?:....My take away was this... 1. The SLAM Process worked and not very difficult to perform. 2. Going by my first pre-slam pick....Even when you think your pool water is clear...
