started my SLAM. I feel as if I’m a SLAM champion after last year, what a hot mess that was. This year I had so many things going for me, aside from the green pool. But seriously, I didn’t even have tadpoles this year! Or mounds and mounds of pinestraw hiding at the bottom of the pool. This will...

Have a long weekend vacay coming up. As of now, CYA is 30 and I lose 3ppm FC a day on sunny days. Less for cloudy/rainy days. If I were to bring FC up to shock level, in theory, by Monday my FC would be zero. If I were to raise my CYA to 40 and then bring it to shock level, in theory, by Monday...

Is this TFP clear? Can I stop slamming assuming I pass OCLT tomorrow?

12x24 intex ultra frame rectangular pool cover. Anyone had any luck finding a mesh cover that works well?

Kind of like it sounds. What would you think is the best way? I need to cover the pool with this tropical depression headed this way over the weekend. I get at least half a leaf net full of debris skimming on a daily basis. I planned to bring it up to shock level Thursday evening. (Still...

Unable to test PH due to high FC level, but test everything else this am: FC-11.5 CC-0 TA-120 CYA-30 Been SLAMing for several weeks finally planned to get in today! Pool math says to lower TA with acid then aerate for PH. I assume I’ll have to point return up if possible to aerate since I...

How soon after adding LC can I backwash? I don’t want to backwash what I put in there ? it’s been an hour since adding. My eyes were playing tricks on me when I checked the PSI before adding. TIA!

Received my test kit today! Need to start a slam ASAP. Intex above ground close to 10k gallons. Results- FC-3ppm CC-1.5 ppm TA-60 Ph from the k-100 kit indicates 6.8 CYA I can only assume is close to 0 Seriously, I did the test 3 times and even YouTubed it to make sure I was doing it correctly...

After reading in this forum (which is amazing by the way) I ordered TF-100 to accurately test my pool chemistry etc. my question is, is there anything I can do for my pool while I wait for it to come in? I’ve been using a leaf rake to dip debris from bottom of the pool (lots of pine straw.) been...
