Morning all,
I just passed my OCLT, but am still keeping FC high because I haven’t taken the light out and scrubbed it. Is it safe to get in the water at shock level to do this? I’ve been brushing at least 2x per day, if not more. I had a small algae bloom, and it’s funny because I just thought my water was crystal clear when I started this SLAM and I was so confused. It’s now even clearer than it was when I opened the pool and got everything in order. It’s beautiful.
Here are my test results from this morning.

Haven’t tested anything else since I started the SLAM a few days ago, but my CYA was low when I started (was 20, and I hadn’t tested since I opened in mid-April...), which, I believe, is why I had issues. I’m guessing from all the rain we’ve had this spring. My pool has an overflow drain vent and where it drains to in my yard has been swampy for a while, so it’s been draining a bunch. I added stabilizer to get to 40 and that’s what I’ve been SLAMming at.
