Ok I’ve been done with SLAM and on maintenance dose. Heads or tails on the quarter?

FC still dropping at night but slowing down the loss. it’s looking good!

FC late last night 16.5, FC 10.5 this morning, 65oz 12% added. Huge improvement this morning a lot less cloudy clear to the bottom on 🎯

Update: can barely see the bottom got in brushed everything. FC 12. Tested the CYA again it seems to be between 32-40 was 40 before perhaps that’s my perception holding at waist level. Pool color deeper blue/cloudy.

So I’m reading in the forums and there seems to be some mixed information but overall it appears that it’s safe to swim even though the SLAM process as long as CYA/FC ratio is met?

FC 9, 94oz of 12% added, lots of empty gallon jugs around here for sure 😂

ahh thanks for letting me know I had no clue. That all they had locally I’ll order the white ones not yellow. I was kind of wondering if why they were yellow.

Def w/ alcohol every 2 hrs haha

Another update for today. FC down to 12, added 58oz of 12%, cleaned new cartridge filter and stuck back in not as yuck today. Pool water moving from green/blue to milky/blue.

I just figured it wouldn't hurt to add more because it will be like sustaining the level, and the heat index will be like 110F today. So, adding more doesn't speed up, which makes sense. It's the time/FC level sustained over time. Do I need to account for heat? Does the poolmath app account...

This morning FC 13. Water color turned from green to a blue/green. Called for 56oz to bring to SLAM level I added 64oz won’t be able to check for a 3-4 hours. The pressure on the cartridge filter still 18. I’ll open it up again later today to see what it looks like inside. The other filter...

I actually thought of the same thing today so I went somewhere else and got more 12.5% that I know is stored indoors just in case. The FC is going up when I add the old stuff so I don’t think that’s it but I’m transitioning over to the new stuff moving forward so I’ll let you know.

Yes it does go to 0 of the pump is off. after adding recommended amount 1.25 hrs ago FC is at 18

New filter pressure is 18. It was also 18 when all that gunk was on there which is why I didn’t think to check/clean it previously.

Checked FC down to 13 added 43oz of 12% bleach. New filter running old filter soaking in tsp. Pressure with new filter is at 18 that is what it was with all that gunk but I’m going to keep up the daily filter check/swap and soak in tsp overnight. Loving the help from the forum and poolmath...

I picked up something called a bullseye nozzle used it at a 45 degree angle went slow starting from top down and did the entire filter took about 25-30 mins until water ran clear all the way top and bottom.

Yeah yuck. I found some tsp the old filter is soaking overnight following the instructions.
