    Quick question, I added 12% liquid chlorine to start my SLAM process, I checked the free chlorine 30 minutes later, it took 40 drops, which is 20ppm correct? About 4 hours later I checked it again, 35 drops=17.5 ppm, with a CYA of 30 I know it’s suppose to be held at 12ppm for this process. Is...

    Sorry that was supposed to say TA-240. what would cause TA to be so high? I have used 3 gallons of Acid trying to lower it this year already. I turned my filter off for a day just to give it a break, the next day the water was clearer with sediment on the bottom, I plan to vacuum to waste...

    I agree you do have perfectly clear water, all I meant was, it’s been clear, it’s been balanced and no issues.

    Cloudy water, running pump 24/7 for over 3 weeks

    I do not have one of the test kits, since I’ve had my pool for the last 5 years, I have only used the test strips and my local pool store test it periodically. They used a bioguard Alex test system. I have had perfect water every year till now. I have no problem getting one of those test kits...
