Just an update - disassembled the ladders steps, cleaned ladder and steps with diluted bleach and thankfully all went well. Finally done with my slam and pool is looking great. Thanks again!

Thanks!! Wish me luck.

I don’t think there is any water in it other than the occasional rain water. My concern is primarily the interior portion since it’s one of those A frame plastic ladders. The outside will definitely get a healthy bleaching.

backstory - I’ve been slamming my above ground pool for about 3.5 weeks. The pool was last used in the summer of 2018. I opened it in 2019 but never treated it and unfortunately left it open all summer and winter. It was so bad that there were things swimming in it. I wish I took pictures lol...

I have been Slamming at 12...... when I said 9, I meant the chlorine level never fell below 9 while slamming. Whenever it dropped below 12, I always added chlorine to get it back up to 12. pretty sure I’m free and clear at this point, been keeping chlorine at slam levels this whole time. i’m...

Looks like I can probably do the OCLT test soon. we’re expecting rain for the next couple of days. Is it better to maintain slam level until the rain eases up? Progress picture:

Is it ok for the kids to swim while still slamming? or should I have them wait until the water is crystal clear? thanks!

Images attached - - - Updated - - - Another picture from the side of the pool not directly under the tree

CYA was tested at 30 with the Taylor kit. I actually think my pictures didn’t come out great because we have a tree covering half the pool. I can see the pool floor but it’s a little cloudy. hopefully these pictures will give a better overall idea - - - Updated - - - Guess I can’t...

Been a while. Seems to be getting better.

Haha. Thanks guys.

Quick question: We’re expecting some rain here for the next few days. Any adjustments to the SLAM?

thanks. I’ll pull the filter tomorrow and clean it again.

Update: pool is still green. I’m hoping I just need to keep at it. Been putting bleach in the pool 3-4 times daily and FC hasn’t fallen below 9.

Thanks! I’ll keep it up and post pictures of my progress

It seems like I’m only losing 2 ppm of FC every couple of hours. Since im new to this, I’m curious if that’s about right. my pool is currently a nice shade of green. - - - Updated - - - Forgot to attach image.

Just bought a house with a 15ft above ground pool and heard this is the place to learn about maintaining pools. Hope to learn a lot.
