Tuesday the 18th Today the 23rd

Pool update So I started slamming on Tuesday as of today it’s just about crystal clear, still running at slam fc until I pass the oclt test but I have less than .5 cc and I can see the bottom, my question is, can I safely swim in it even though I’m not sure of ph because of SLAM FC

Ok, update, pool is looking really good, still cloudy but it’s only day 2, I’ve been testing more frequently and keeping it right at my 24 number, I do the 7am and 7 pm my daughter does the noon test and I test it at midnight. I can’t enter the pool due to not being able to see the bottom...

Went from 40 to 18 fc while I was at work today I bumped back up to 24 fc Pool is no longer green at all just a touch cloudy and basically zero CC

So do I let the FC fall till it hits 24 and then maintain that? Or do I hold the 40?

Pool don’t look any different than it did yesterday before adding 5 gallons of chlorine thats exactly what I thought when I got the result, then proceeded to test again 2 more times using alll the information and videos on testing, I am pretty sure I have the numbers right now!

Todays test results, I didn’t bother with ph due to being in slam. My question is where my target SLAM number is 24 and I’m at 40 do I allow it to come down to 24 and maintain that number or do I maintain the 40?

Ok will do

Oh gosh no one mentioned that till now. I already adjusted it to 7.4 and proceeded with slam

I did them all 2 times before I posted my numbers.

My alkalinity being at 40ppm? And my ph being over 8.2?

Ok so I got ph down to 7.4 then dumped in 5.5 gallons of chlorine. I let it filter for an hr or so and I just tested fc and it’s now at 45, that’s definitely more than my target of 24. What do I do?

That’s what I did!

I already messed up The pool math calculator defaults in 6% chlorine at 6% I needed about 5.5 gals so I put 5.5 gallons in. Well my chlorine is 10%, only needed a bit over 3 gal, am I screwed?

Awesome thank you! Adjusting my ph now then it’s hammer time

Do you believe I should dump some water and refill? Or just run the slam with cya where it is, I’m nervous on it getting to high lol

Ok results are in! FC- 1.5ppm CC-1.5ppm Ch-50ppm Ta-40ppm Ph-8.2+ it’s darker pink than measureable Cya-50-60ppm

Ok test kit will be there when I get home. Do I test everything?

Perfect thank you very much

Can I use just straight Clorox bleach? Either way I’m going to get liquid today

I ordered the tf-100 plus SLAM

I have the hth kit from Walmart, the little box majigger only goes up to 5 or 6 I believe, so I’m sure it falls in the can’t test above reliably catagory

Also like to add. I had been using granular shock, and chlorine tabs. From reading through some forums here I have understood that I won’t be using those anymore, and that my pool was locked up because of the pool store products containing stabilizer. After the last pool store recommendation...
