Thanks I'll do that. I had assumed CYA was last based on this comment, but for to know I can do everything in close proximity.

Thanks, I was following @mknauss 's advice to do an OCLT and report back from here ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I'll do as you suggest though, appreciate it. Once I get crystal water, is there a suggested order of operations for adjusting the other levels, or is that dealer's choice (with CYA being last)?

I'm performing the OCLT tonight, will report back. Thanks, will update when I'm back to my computer. Here is the info on my fill water: TA: 30 CH: 25

Looks like according to this thread, I should first start w/ getting my FC up to around 6, then do an OCLT to see if I really do have algae or not, then I would either SLAM (assuming I fail the test), or start adjusting other levels (assuming I pass the test).

Hi - I purchased a house last summer that has a 25k gallon plaster SWG pool, and kind of just coasted w/ testing and chemicals through the end of the year into Winter without any issues. When Winter hit, and my SWG went dormant, and at the previous owners recommendation, I threw in a bunch of...
