What happened to the CYA/FC and SLAM level chart? I’m getting page not found for the link in the SLAM page 🤷‍♀️

It’s really clear! I was going to swim in it until I tested. I’ll drain for a little bit longer and then slowly fill back up. It’s only down a two inches in 2 hours.

Well water. I can’t imagine draining 80% of the pool!

140 is the result

Thanks! It’s 140 ?

Had the pool store open the pool 10 days ago. They came back to check yesterday and adjust and I went back over them because I want to know how safe it is. Well: FC is 2.6 CC is .6 pH is 7.2 (yay) CYA is through the roof—over 100. So before I SLAM, I want to lower CYA. How much water should I...

FC was 19 yesterday. I left my dad in charge of the pool for the week. To play it safe I told him to put two pucks in each of the skimmers. Usually works fine when I’m away. CYA has been at 100 so I’ve been keep FC a bit higher using pool math but not 19! Now, my dad did fill up the pool on...

I found 6 tiles at the bottom of my pool. Ugh. Can I repair myself? Is this “common” or something to expect after 10 years (we just bought the house in November). I took pictures and I also took pictures of some other tile areas for opinions in whether someone fixed it before or if it’s calcium...

My pool is pretty well balanced after testing but I believe I need to raise CH. I did the pool math but I can’t figure out how to measure and add the stuff I have. Please help! Here are my readings: FC 9 CC 0 pH 7.5 TA 140 CYA 70 CH 240 In addition to CH, do I need to adjust my TA, too or is it...

I appreciate your quick answers. Nice to know they have a shelf life and I can use them here or there. Of course the ones I have are stabilized! One thing I love about TFP is it just makes sense to add single chemicals. The pucks just didn’t make sense to me for everyday use. Rain and vacation...

Is there a TFP world where I can use these chlorine pucks I have—all million of them?

Re: Help me see the bottom of my pool! Answering a couple of your questions from above: -take you aquabot out of the pool and don’t use it until after the SLAM is done. It’s just going to stir stuff up. -don’t raise your cya anymore. That’s a dream level because it will take less chlorine with...

Word. I will test tomorrow everything tomorrow. Thanks!

thank you!

Passed the OCLT. My CC shows some level under 0.5 (can’t tell with the 10ml test). 1) Do I need to do anything because of the CC reading? FC is 18.5. CYA was 60-70 last time I checked. 2) when can I accurately perform the full array of test for pH, TA, CH? I know I need to raise the CH at the...

LOL ! Seriously! It’s all marketing. Everything about the contents are 100% the same. Just the bottle has a different color and it says things like, “kills mildew” and “germicidal.” But I’ll take it because it means I can find bleach in town! Apparently when you dress the bottle up, people don’t...

Re: Just got test kit...feeling overwhelmed I was just in your shoes yesterday. Pool looked fairly clear. Vacuumed and after a few minutes of vacuuming it was a cloudy mess. I was bummed. But I followed the slam process...went through about 20 jugs of bleach, vacuumed and brushed again with...

I will 100% be making a donation!! UPDATE: 10:07a I needed to raise the FC 2 and added the appropriate amount. Now almost 1pm and the pool is at the raised level with a CC test score of 0!!! pool is clear. No sign of “life” and I guess I just need to do my overnight test. Hope that goes well...

Cleaned filters, vacuuumed, brushed, added chlorine. So nice to SLAM for two days because I could really see the difference between day one of vacuuming/brushing/filters and day 2. This legit works so well and I feel like this super expensive thing I own is not such a liability anymore. So much...

I’ve now used 6 jugs of the stuff with no issues like foaming or it not raising the chlorine the same/as well as Clorox. I think I figured out that it is meant to compete with Germicidal Bleach like the Home Depot has that and I know from the forum that GB is okay to use. So, I think it’s all...

?? Praise the slam! Crystal clear this morning! Still mid-slam but I can see every part of the pool to brush and vacuum!!

More than once per day you think? and thank you!

So far so good. 5 hours ago I had to add 360 oz, 2.5 hours ago 165 oz, just a few minutes ago I needed 132 oz. plan for tomorrow morning is to: 1) test and add chlorine 2) coffee 3) clean filters 4) vacuum pool 5) test and add chlorine 6) repeat step 5 vacuumng for the first time this morning...

Pretty much when any adult walks into the room I hand them the baby and tell them I gotta go test and brush and chlorinate!
