K-1766 Taylor Test Kit...according to pool math I think I need to drain about 20-25% to get it down around 2600ppm...I've been creeping on the SWG pages and that sounds like the sweet spot for my SWG.

Spoke to soon...high salt code getting thrown on the new SWG.

I cant thank you all enough! I am pretty sure we are there... I ran out of the R-0871 drops Saturday but got the replacement in yesterday...didnt add anything yesterday and checked everything today... FC=13 CC=0 CH=225 TA=70 CYA=50 PH=7.5 SALT=3400ppm I know I need to raise the CYA level to...

Update

I think that pic looks a little hazy so like you stated, may as well keep it going...doubt it can hurt anything! Thanks for the help!!

This work? Maybe I've forgotten what clear is since I haven't seen it in a while haha!! What do you think?

Here's a pic from today.

Finally...I believe I am done slamming! Water is clear, CC was 0, and OCLT was a success! So, I know to let the FC drive back down...but what do I do about the SWG shutting off and throwing a high salt code? My K-1766 Taylor Salt Water Test kit will be here Monday. Will it be ok for the next...

OCLT tonight!...can see the bottom

Negative...just bleach.

Still cloudy, but getting there...I think.

Update...I've got to be close! CYA level shows to be at 70...why has it continued to climb? That takes the slam level to 28...gotta go buy more bleach I guess....I could finally see the bottom today, got another good vacuum I...tried my SWG again for giggles and it's still throwing the high...

1 week in...been brushing at least 1 time per day and vacuuming every day I'm not at work...I dont have the best vacuum I feel like, but I did it again today after shutting the pump off for a couple of hours before doing it (hoping for things to settle on bottom). I could see a visible...

Earlier today...still SLAMMING....brushed it earlier, vacuumed before bed...getting rid of that green tint, now just a little cloudy.

It looks better, it just won't let me upload the last 2 photos!

Progression pics!

Will CYA measurement be correct while slamming? Just checked it, 50ppm, still feels like there's some product left in the sock...FC just checked in at 13 this AM. Getting ready to vacuum, but do see new algae growth on pool light that has been scrubbed a few times now. Do I need to bump FC up...

Copy...adding 24 oz. now. I did check the CYA...appeared to be close to 30 ppm now. Do I leave the sock in the skimmer or should I pull it out? It appears to still have some in it. Thanks again.

FC dropped to 8.5 overnight...added 10 oz. Bleach to get it back to 10, vacuumed...anything else need checked or just keep the FC up?

55 Oz. of 6% Bleach 4.4 Oz. CYA in a sock 3 Oz. Hth pH minus Going to check FC in about an hour or so and give it a good brush. FC 12 after 1 hour...going to check it 1 more time before bed.

�� Going to get chlorine and starting to SLAM tonight!

Thanks...definitely been through looking at pool school a few times...just wasn't sure if I should dump water in order to get salt level under control or to go ahead and SLAM. I downloaded the pool math app already!

Well we are first time above ground pool owners, and me being me I had to upgrade things from the start. Thankfully I was introduced to this forum and have been lurking for a bit. We bought the 14'x42" Ultra Frame, then added a 1050 GPH sand filter, then bought a used CS8110 SWG and the deluxe...
