    Here are my morning #'s FC 9 CC .5 CYA 40 I put a sock in with cya Monday and another yesterday because I didn't have enough the first time. So now that my cya level has increased my FC needs to increase to 16 right? Instead of the 12 I've been aiming for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I've kept FC at or around 12 throughout the day. CC has gone back and forth between 1 and .5 all day. Last check before bed FC 13 CC .5 Water is still bluish green and cloudy with minimal improvement. I'm hoping for a SLAM miracle soon. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Started SLAM last night at 10pm. Tested at 11pm FC 14 CC 1 I used pool math for the correct amount of bleach to add but I must have put too much in. I also think I miscalculated CC yesterday as I used 2 drops and instructions say I should multiply x.5 = 1 Tested at 7:15 am FC 15 CC 1 Should...

    Thanks! Yes first time with test kit, yes we need to SLAM. The FC took 11 drops so 5.5 then? I added the socks of cya earlier to get it going. So do I have to wait a few days to let the stabilizer work or is there something I can do now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes your diameter and deepness is correct. I do have a basic tester, this morning it read 5 (that's as high as it goes)for chlorine and 7.2 for ph. I added a gallon of shock last night and have been for the past few days to try to at least do something until my test kit arrived. My kit will be...

    From other posts I'm assuming I have an algae problem. I am currently waiting for my TF-2006 to arrive as I saw suggested in other posts. We opened last week with a green pool which we shocked with 4 gallons of chlorine initially over 2 days. It cleared to milky blue and we ran the pump and...
