    If it's 8 I would drop it with MA. PH doesn't normally come down in it's own. Enjoy!

    Just received K-2006 kit, uh oh

    You are done with SLAM when: CC is 0.5 or lower; You pass an OCLT (ie overnight FC loss test shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less); And the water is clear.

    Hi new here

    From my Google search the HTH Super Green to Blue appears to be extra blue shock with Floc. I never heard of it, so I watched the video. I m not sure you used this brand. Hth Super Green To Blue - Walmart.com Not part of TFP. According to the video it said to add Shock straight to the pool...

    Have I messed up

    I wouldn't worry about PH. PH results are not reliable with FC over 10. That's one reason the experts said to knock PH down to 7.2 - 7.5 before a slam. Good Luck. I hope u post pics of the results.

    Just received Taylor K2006 test kit yesterday

    Purchase a speed stir. It makes life much easier. My Grandson loves watching. He is slowly moving towards my pool boy..well, testing anyway. He isn't much of a fan of brushing and vacuuming.

    Algae but want to avoid SLAM by replacing water

    When I had a intex AG pool 18x42 I had a issue one spring after letting it go through out the winter. I just drained scrubbed, rinse and repeat. Had it filling back up in about 6 hours. I also removed all through vinyl fittings and hoses and cleaned those as well and let them soak in a...

    My SLAM w/ Duda Bags & Fiber Clear

    I agree. That looks suspect. This has been a great thread. The stream of water over unions, joints and on top of site glass helped me locate a suction leak on my neighbors pool. He had a super small site glass hair line crack. Replaced and no bubbles. Try the stream of water around that...

    Calculator in app and on website say different

    I had the same thing. But I found my error. The web poolmath defaults to 1000 ppm salt. The app doesn't. Once I found that, they both read the same.

    Ozonator question

    A cousin of mine asked my wife if I could run a set of test on her 8 year old Ozonator pool. I had no idea what a Ozonator was or did. I had to Google it. My question is: Do suggested ranges apply to Ozonator pool? I did read the Ozonator allows the pool to run lower FC than normal. She...
