Okay. This morning begins the 4th day of slamming and I'm still losing 3-4 overnight. Do I just keep going? All other numbers still remain good including CC under .5. Cya around 30.

We have not replaced any water, but i don't have the most confidence in our first CYA test. I'm a little confused whether the cya test is until you kinda can't see the dot, or to where you can't see it even if squinting and focusing. Either way, I suspect it's closer to 30 than 45. I...

Okay. I'm a day and a half into my slam, and my CYA has dropped from 40 to 25. Should I continue my slam, or do I need to pause to get the CYA level back up?

Okay. I have my head wrapped around the 10 Vs 25. Thanks for that. As for slamming, I had already studied it and just confused. First, do I need to raise my CYA to 70-80? There is a chart that shows for SWG, what level to raise chlorine to in order to slam it. That chart starts at 60...

Put in 16k gallon pool with SWG three summers ago. Been fine until this year. Opened to lots of algae. Balanced and shocked the heck out of it. Thought I had it. Pool will NOT HOLD chlorine. After paying Leslie's $$$ every week, I'm done. I bought the kit everyone recommends and I can test...
