It would probably go faster if it would stop raining but oh well. I will keep moving forward! Thanks everyone!

Hmm I started SLAM on Thursday. I balanced the ph and alkalinity first. Stabilizer was 30. I’m checking the chlorine three times a day. Today is Wednesday. The water looks no clearer today than it did on Saturday. The pool math app says I need the chlorine to be at 12. It consistently tests at 9...

I started SLAM Thursday. Last night just before sunset I added enough chlorine to bring it up to 12 which is what the pool math app said to add. I just tested at 6:45 this morning and my level is now 11. Am I done or do I need to keep going? My water is blue looking but still cloudy. You...

IDK the cord was perfect until we left it in the pool during SLAM. At that point it got nasty, slimy and slick and has never felt the same again.

Last summer I left my Dolphin S50 in the pool while I did SLAM and the chlorine made the cord nasty so I’m assuming too much chlorine can be bad for it. I’m currently doing SLAM on the pool to kill the algae, but what dilution of bleach and water should I soak my Dolphin in to kill the algae...

Last year we bought a blowup slide then we had a get together on Memorial Day and it died with all the activity. How many of you have one? Can I see how you've set it up?

My pool is not meant for a SWG so would a SWG mess it up? It's metal sides, fiberglass rails, above ground.

My CYA keeps getting too high and I know it's because I use chlorine tabs/pucks. If I switch to liquid chlorine that won't happen right? Thing is, the nearest store that sells it is 30 miles away one way and has a limit of 10 bottles per customer, so I'm wondering, how many days would I get out...

Update. My husband brushed the pool cove and stirred up the algae. Then I super shocked the pool. 3 days later, what used to be green algae colored patches, now just look like dirt. My water has no more green tint. Maybe what I did wrong this time was not brushing it? My deck doesn't go all...

I have a sand filter. We've been backwashing it daily.

I have a filter bag that attaches to the jet. It filters out iron. I put it on and 8 hours later, the bag is turning green, not brown or red so I'm still guessing this is algae but why is it being so stubborn to remove?

Like a vitamin C tablet that you buy in the nutrition aisle?

Typically when my well water pollutes my pool with iron, it turns brown or red.

I'm using the Taylor FAS DPD kit.

Yes I'm on a well.

I end up having to SLAM before opening every year. It always works without fail. This time I'm having issues though. I'm not losing any chlorine overnight, but I still have algae. Is it because I'm not brushing or vacuuming enough? Usually when I stop losing chlorine, I have crystal clear...

I tried cleaning mine and the little black dots stuck to it just will not come off. How do you get all the residue off of it?

Mine is usually clear with a bit of a gray hue from the powder I'm guessing. Is that okay?

Okay so doing the FC test the water turns pink, then you add the drops until it turns clear. How clear? Should it have no pink hue at all? Does a light, light pink hue mean I need to add more drops and wait fir it to lose all the pinkies?

I have a Hydrotools chlorinator. It's 2 years old and it's always been hard to open. We've lubed it, greased it and replaced the o ring. We usually open it with a big pair of pliers but that's not working today. The lid won't move at all. Ideas for getting it open without breaking the PVC...

Yes I do have iron in my well water.

I have a 30 foot round pool with some algae. Last summer I used the SLAM method and it killed all the algae and my pool looked great so I decided to do it again this summer. My CYA is 45 and Ph 7.2. I added the first dose of liquid chlorine yesterday afternoon. My FC is now 12. If I'm...

I may have misunderstood. When I did the CC test it was zero. Is that the number you go by or do you add the FC number to the CC number?

Awesome!

My water is perfectly clear! It looks amazing!
