We have been SLAMming since Thursday of last week. Pool is clear. Have not passed OCLT. Combined Chlorine at most has been .5 or less. Couple of questions: 1) Once slamming is over (hopefully I will see the end of of this tunnel), how often should you test your pool chemistry? 2) once slam is...

MY filter pressure is actually below the base at which it normally is (base is 12 PSI), it weirdly was at 9/10 today. Not sure if these facts matter, I posted in another thread when figuring out what I was doing wrong in the SLAM process, but hadnt vacuumed for a few days until yesterday because...

How long after I put the initial chlorine in should be I testing? The amount I put is what the pool calculators say to put in. I...

Thanks for the reply. I have my test kit now and have started the SLAM process. My pool has turned from green to blue, starting to get clearer. I put in 325 fl oz of liquid chlorine (10%) last night (was at 1.5 ppm FC, CC was 4 ppm, so based on CYA of 40, FC target should be 16, this is based on...

Hi also new to TFP. We had a pool service company unexpectedly come out to our house today (just bought a few months ago), apparently pool opening preset by previous owners. We went ahead and had them do their same "package" that they did for the owners, mainly to get the process started. Our...
