Joined today but have read the forum a few times searching for answers. I love your philosophy and all of the information I have learned here. My wife and I bought this place in 2020. The house is beautiful, we have a couple acres, I finally have some shop space, and . . . . there's a pool. [ which why I chose "WhatPool" for my user name. 
] We weren't really looking for a pool, but thought I could figure it out. I'm feeling pretty good since I have already replaced the Hayward pump and heat exchanger myself, and had the SWG installed. It has taken a little bit but feel pretty good about water testing and keeping things up. However, lately, I feel I've been "pool stored". Yes, I fell for adding Zero Phos and now I have a cloudy mess. It took about four days to clear when I added it two years ago, but now it has been a week. I am starting SLAM tomorrow and see how it goes.
