OK. I just added the signature. I had it under an 'About Me' section thinking that was it

Thanks. I did fill it in the first day. Maybe I didn't do it right. 11,665K gal, Plaster, Jandy VS Plus HP 2.70 variable speed pump (2), Jandy Pro Series CV460 sqft cartridge filter, inflor Cleaning system, spa, Jandy JXi400P Pool & Spa Heater, vacuum manually on occasion with suction from...

I definitely do now and have much more confidence. I'm not worried about the rain now. Just crazy that I paid two different pool cleaning companies $200+ dollars a month for a year plus more to clean the filters. Granted it was mandatory to maintain the pool warranty but I definitely feel...

Good Morning. Going through the SLAM process. I was a little off because I added additional chlorine last night because we were having heavy rains. Typically every time it rains my pool turns dark green so I was really scared. I was just preparing myself to start the SLAM process all over again...

Initially I never thought I needed a vacuum because I purchased an inflor system. I thought that was like a vacuum. I'll probably buy something in the fall if I don't care for this manual process.

Thank You! I was trying to vacuum based on the SLAM process. There's just some leaves at the bottom of the pool. There's not a lot but I didn't know if it would affect the chlorine. How long does it take for the water to get clear? Do I just keep the FC maintained at 16. I'm worried because it's...

For the vacuum I ended up screwing that one piece back in place and the piece that was directly across pulls out and there's a hole at the bottom of the skimmer that you connect the vacuum hose directly to. The equipment apparently has a direct line to the vacuum and has a leaf/debris filter.

Thanks. Pool guy called and explained the manual pool vacuum but I need a little more help so will work with him on the proper settings. He did say it's supposed to go directly in but it didn't fit snug. For now I'll continue focus on FC. Just took another chlorine test. It's still 16 so will...

Good Morning. Still working on my SLAM. FC increased to 16 last night and stayed until this morning. The pool is still pretty cloudy. I tested and results below. I'm trying to vacuum my pool but I don't understand how to connect the vacuum to the skimmer. I don't have one of those caps and when...

OK. Thank You! Yes I just remembered that SLAM FC target is 16 so I'll continue to focus on that. Should I add more Chlorine to raise it or continue to keep testing every 3 hours and add then. I've just been adding exactly what the PoolMath app says. I looked at pool chemical products in the...

OK. I just did my second round of SLAM testing. FC has increased from 1ppm to 6.5ppm and TA is now 70. pH increased from 7.2 to 7.5. I have this shortage for CH Calcium Hardness but I don't know if I am supposed to fix this during the SLAM process. What chemical am I supposed to use and where...

Still following the SLAM Proces. Water is continuing to improve. Just did new tests and I have some FC chlorine so followed the process and added the next dosage based on the pool app. I'll continue to check. I'm hoping I can vacuum later this evening if the deep end clears a little more so I...

Yes. I used Chlorinating Liquid and it's already starting to lighten or kill algae. 😃 I'm so excited! I was beyond overwhelmed and intimidated with this process. I've learned so much in the last week and the last 24 hours. I do have some leaves sitting at the bottom of the pool. I also just...

OK. I picked up Muriatic Acid 31.45% from Ace Hardware for $9.99 then went to Walmart and bought 4 gallons of liquid bleach for $5.97 each. Came home and did the recommended dosage of Muriatic Acid then brushed the pool and tested and the range was 7.2 from 7.8 yesterday. I then put the...

Thank you! This helped a lot

Thanks everyone. Little overwhelmed yesterday as I wasnt really ready to take on this task. I understand the how to use my test kit properly. I haven't started any of the process yet. Going this morning to get chemicals. Spent some time reviewing the answers here and checking articles again. I...

OK. Here's the updated test that have been properly stirred. I still don't have any chlorine.

Thank You! I just fired the pool tech company. Will need to update or remove my credit card for automatic payment just in case. I will rerun the tests using the bar since I didn't use it the first time. Will review the SLAM Process again and pick up chemicals based on feedback here.
