Update: Thanks to Everyone for your help and suggestions!!! The 2nd SLAM was a success… My pool is back to the sparkling and beautiful state that is was before… All I’ve gotta say is I learned myself a little lesson… I’ve done alot of SLAM’s on several different people’s pools but this was a...

Thanks JJ I think that’s what I did the first time with the OCLT I got to eager and it popped up again… I will make sure to get it all out this time… No matter if it takes an extra day or not!!! Thanks Partner!!!

SWG has been off since the start of the SLAM by the way so that is not helping out… Only 10% liquid Chlorine…

Ok so after starting another SLAM at 10:40 this morning and bringing the chlorine back up to 12ppm I have been checking every hour on the hour and I have only put in 17oz which equals to 1ppm from 10:40am to 4:30pm 🤔 am I missing something? Is it because there is not much algae consuming it or...

Doing so now… Thanks for the responses everyone… Appreciated…

Well it looks like I might have to start another SLAM. After testing just 5 mins ago looks like my CC jumped up… (Frustrated) 🤪The first test that I posted on original post was just done yesterday at 6:00pm Here are the numbers from the test I did 5 mins ago… FC - 3 CC - 1.5 pH - 7.6 TA - 100...

Yes I am sure that is all she put in. I did see the receipt to what she purchased. It was a total of 4 1lb bags. So when you state to run it hot for a week or so. Should I leave the SWG on to assist in keeping the chlorine up? Also am I doing this running the pump 24/7 or just on my normal...

Yes so that is something that I forgot to mention I have been using DE powder in my filter also… That’s another reason why I’m stumped 🤔

Long time TFP member here and i have never had any issues with my pool since using these methods… I have always had that crystal clear and sparkling water. Well I’m having an issue now and can’t get it figured out. We had a lot of pollen down here in south Texas this year and a lot falling from...

Thanks Flying Tibo... I was able to find that but I’m needing the tank gasket and a new lateral and stuff so I was trying the find the make and model etc... I found one that looks sort of familiar it’s... American products Meteor but all I can find is a diagram and no real pictures... that’s why...

I’m needing to buy new gaskets for my In-laws sand filter but the labels are sun faded and others gone completely... Can someone help me or tell me what brand and model this sand filter is?

Yeah I’m definitely going to look into the copper cause it could be that I’m guessing also... So at the time it appeared the last time I did do a couple of tests after having it slamming for a few days or more I brushed with the stainless steel brush and sprinkled some shock on the black spots...

Thanks Mike I’ll look into that...

Well I can say that I’m not familiar with copper stains other than what I have seen on pool school pictures but I sure can check that... Too bad the K2006C kits that we both have can’t check for copper and we can’t depend on the pool store to give us any accurate readings... But I did let him...

I have a question about black algae and I’m looking for some help from the pros... The question is for a really good friend of mines pool so don’t pay attention to my sig... His pool is a inground 7000 gallon plaster pool with a 1hp Hayward Super Pump and and black round sand filter... I’m not...

Good information to know... Thank you mknauss... I didn’t speed up the process I stayed with it but there were a few times where I did add more than required because I was gonna be gone or not available to test or add for awhile... But I will keep that in mind and put it in the memory bank...

Just a little question of curiosity... If the pool isn’t being used and you know it’s not gonna used or it’s the season it won’t get used... If you need to SLAM the pool does it hurt to slam at a higher ppm then needed? Will it kill the algae quicker or is it a waste of bleach or will it hurt a...

Water is still a little cloudy... I can see the bottom of the pool... I could probably pass the penny test but it’s not close to the crystal clear and sparkling that we on this site are all accustomed too.. [emoji23] I’ll continue slamming until I pass all 3 criteria but the OCLT is a little...

Water Temp is 60 give or take

Hey there everyone I’m scratching my head!!! I’ve started slamming my pool cause the pool was clear and looked like there was either a lot of dirt or sand out of the sand filter in the middle of the pool so I started sweeping the pool walls and floors and water turned a greenish color and real...

Well I might wanna update my thread because about a month and a half ago my turbo cell went out so we are using the bleach method only right now... I wanna upgrade my whole salt system and move to a T-15 instead of the T-5 so we have been shopping around for a new one... Plus we don't have much...

I will post up a set of test results when I get home after work...

Hey there everyone ive got a weird little situation goin on in the pool... The other day I noticed that the pool and walls and floor were dirty and decided to scrub them down with the pool brush... Well to my dismay the pool started turning Green like a darker pickle juice type color... Well I...

Sorry don’t mean to invade on your thread it was just an observation off of one of the pics I saw that you posted and it didn’t work for me when I tried it... But that’s a topic for another time.... Mr B Very good looking pool and very good job on the deck... I bet you and the family are...

MrB not sure if this thread is still active but I have a question about your pump... if you or anyone else could answer for me... Your sig shows that your running a Pentair Dynamo 1.5hp pump which if I'm not mistaken is an Above Ground Pool Pump Correct? So I'm scratching my head trying to...

Hey all I have a quick question about mounting my salt cell I have a RJ model right now but i'm gonna need to be raising my equipment Pump/Filter and will no longer be able to mount it vertically gonna have to go with a horizontal mount and my question was if the 2" pvc will be coming straight...

YES!!!! Jamison you are so correct... My wife really does not like the grid looking pattern LOL... It seems like the liner is darker in the areas where the tape seams are but its probably just the black from the gorilla tap lol... So what kind of cleaner are you using? do you manually clean or...
