so, I did my weekly water test and CYA reading came out less than 30. typically, I would buy granular stabilizer from Amazon, but before I do that this time, do any of you recommend a better CYA liquid solution or CYA product that has worked best.

Can you plz expand on soaking the filters, what do you mean by that, I generally power wash with hose.

Here are the latest pics

Day 5 - 6 update: No algae, water is clear but still milky and FC has been above target levels.

understood, thank you Marty

Ok, for my pump motor, the typical or recommended pressure is 8-10. Throughout the SLAM process the pressure was always in the range 8-10. Is there a day range for milky water to clear on its own, i.e. 2 to 3 days or a week. not sure if I'm asking for something that doesn't make sense.

Do you recommend cleaning the cartridge filters every day, now that I don't see any algae and water is milky/cloudy taking time to clear. I cleaned the filters last evening.

I've 4 catridge filters. I didn't clean the filter except for once, may be that's what I need to do. I'll clean the filter.

Day 3 update - FC level is above target SLAM throughout the day. Water is cloudy, not clear. But don't see any algae or green surface.

Oh sorry, I should've been more clear. 1) No I did not replace the water 2) Yes I read the SLAM instructions and keeping the FC level above recommended levels. As a matter of fact, I added a bit higher than recommended since I knew that I wasn't going to be able to test last night. 3) I didn't...

False alarm, I tested again and it's around 35 - 40. If it goes below 30, what would I need to.

I tested CYA its around 25, can you please recommend what do I do now.

got it. I can't see the bottom of the pool yet, maybe I should wait a bit to see. Will continue the brushing process.

wanted to give you all an update that I started SLAM process last evening, this is how water is currently looking. I will be testing the water again in the evening and post the readings here. Hope we're moving in the right direction, as every hour I see less green and more cloudy water changes.

yeah mine is around 15k gallons, guess we SLAM the sucker then

yeah water flushed from pool

sorry, had to ask, does it matter If water is completely flushed out and replenished before SLAM process, or may be that's not needed. please confirm.

@Pv2 isn't the current Ph at an acceptable range?

Thank you JJ

according to the chart, based on my current CYA i.e. 60, I see that there's minimum and target, so do I add target FC and SLAM all at once? or in phases.

Yes that's correct, the uploaded image is right.

Ok, here are the test results and I hope I got some of it right. Cyanuric acid 7 drops *10 = 70 Calcium hardness 23 drops * 10 = 230 Total alkanility 11 drops * 10 = 110 Free Chlorine = the water didn't become clear from 5 - 10 drops * 0.5, I can't really be sure what the level is TC= 5 drops...
