Hey all, if you follow my previous post. You will see that I have successfully completed my SLAM (for algae) process yesterday. I don't have a signature up yet. 27'ft round 54" inches deep saltwater 8000. 190sqft cartridge filter, 2HP 2 speed pump, RJ45+ SWG. Pool is 18,000 gallons
So after my SLAM I decided to add five 40 pound bags of salt to get the process of turning salt water for the first time. Started with a salt level of 400ppm measuring with my taylor kit.
Let it run for about 4 hours with pump on high. Retested salt and I'm at 1800ppm which is fine as I ran out of daylight, plus I'd rather go slow to get to the goal of 3,500,-3,800ppm salt.
I tested my FC and it had been at 13ppm in the morning confirming my OCLT was legit and done. To my surprise I was at 3.5 ppm four hours after adding salt. Is that normal? I ended adding more liquid chlorine to bring it up to 7ppm or I think. Still have to check.
I also added 4 pounds of granular CYA yesterday (in a sock) to bring the CYA up to 65. Not sure if the salt or CYA would have cau sed the chlorine loss?
