So we have the CYA in our pool in two socks, added the liquid chlorine, brushed walls, vacuumed blind, and back washed. We have a Dolphin, robot cleaner, should we use that or is that harmful? We went to pool supply to buy our supplies and they tried to sale me two other things that they said I...

So headed to the store to get our goodies! I see I need a little over 4 lbs of CYA on Pool Math. On FC, could you remind or tell me what my SLAM Target FC should be, what do I punch in there on Pool Math? Will 4 lbs of CYA fit in a tube sock? Two socks?

I Pool math said to add Borax? Again I will test my TA and that may change. So double checking, I will probably do that a lot. I need to go ahead and add the amount of stabilizer suggested for my CYA and the amount of liquid chlorine suggested for FC? And that is all I need to add for now?

So I went to settings and shared on Pool Math. Our pool results are FC 0 CYA 0 PH 7.2 TA 250 CH 125 So I need to put the amount of substances for each reading in my pool, 10 minutes apart? Is that correct? Or for the SLAM am I just focusing on CYA and FC?

OK pool friends, my tf test kit has arrived!! It looks like a science lab to me. So I have Pool Math on my phone, do to my test for a SLAM, do I need to test all 5 areas, FC, PH, TA, CH, and CYA?? Also did I read and understand that I need a good PH level before I start the SLAM. I am ready to...

Does that look right?

Ok so I am showing you how much I do not know here and how much I relied on our pool store to tell me exactly what to do and what amount to add, a tad bit embarrassed. To add 10 ppm per day of chlorine, how to I figure what 10 ppm of chlorine is for my pool? I've researched different things, but...

Sorry, I meant do you favor just household bleach or the the liquid chlorine made for pools. Thank you again!

Ok thank you! Do you favor bleach or liquid chlorine?

One last question for today, I think?lol Do I put my filter on circulation when I fill it up and SLAM?

Thank you all for the advice! We got as much junk out of the bottom of the pool and now we are filling it back up. 2 problems as of yesterday, no bleach at stores and no pool test kit. So going in a minute to see if they restocked bleach. If I order the pool kit, it won't be here till the 29th...

Swamp

Above ground. 18000 gallon pool. Sand filter.

I’m I. The exact same boat. Mine is drained to knee level. So just double checking with what you said.1. Get as much junk out. 2. Fill pool back up. 3. Turn in filter. 4. Start SLAM. Is that correct?

Ok so we are above ground pool owners with what was once a pool but looks like a pond. We have drained the pool to about knee level and have been scooping and scooping debris. We did not cover the pool, so it is filled with leaves/branches at the bottom and algae out the ying yang. I’ve been...
