This is a fantastic resource and a great place to turn when you need help, I recommend it often. I started a SLAM process on July 16. My CYA was at 0 (another post). I added enough powder to bring the CYA to 40 and confirmed with multiple tests. I have been in continuous SLAM mode since July...

I'm at a loss. Requesting help from the experts here. I have been running my pool for 2 1/2 years now. I have had issues with low Cl this year. Just replaced the salt cell a couple months ago. A few weeks ago I had begun a SLAM process due to high Cl demand. At that time I tested the CYA to get...
