Yes, I am following the SLAM process. My pool was green swamp prior to all this. Is the foam from the Sodium Bicarbonate I added other day? I used quick clean feature in my pump and the foam is dissipating So should I continue to focus on raising FC to 16? TYIA

I did the OCLT test. Last night after I added 3 gallons of LC 9:10pm… FC 9 CC 1.5 TC 10.5 CYA 40 Results this morning- 8/10 FC 9.5 CC 0.5 TC 10 CYA 40 I gained FC. But my water is still foamy and light teal. 😅 What am I not doing right? Do I just focus keep being up the FC? 16 is the aim.

Yeah I was using the pool math. I guess I didn’t understand the target PPM. I need to go back and understand that more. Thk you! So add 582 oz all at once right? I’ll do that tonight!

Ok sock removed. I used the TF-100 kit. It’s my first time using the kit so maybe I’m testing it wrong? Says to add liquid into the cylinder until I couldn’t see the black dot any longer

CH- 200ppm Chlorine- 0.5 FC- 0.5 ppm CYA-48 TA-80 PH- 7.0 Br- 1 I will continue slam tonight and add 88oz liquid chlorine. Will continue to brush the pools walls and floor. CYA stabilizer still in sock… should I bring up higher than 48 or remove sock w stabilizer? New filter coming...

This is exactly what I needed to do! I was able to figure this out and clean the filter and pump basket! Everything is working in good condition now. My pool guy finally called me back. 🥰

Sorry yes the photo I have there is not closing off suction to pump. I will have the handle point away from the pump. The return line valve is the first photo and I can’t turn the valve to close off the on going into the heater. Do I need to unscrew the valve and then reposition it inside?

Hello all, I am new to being pool owner and have been trying to figure out how to clean my pump without after gushing out every time. My equipment is below the pool level. I have tried to close the suction valve and not sure if there is anything else I need to do. Pentair filter- It has...

Wow thanks for the tip. This has been another issue I been having. Glad to know it’s normal since my pump is lower than the pool.

Thk you!! Yes been on top of brushing it daily thankfully. The heat is arriving so I will try to brush twice daily.

Hello all, We live in Portland, OR. This is our first time owning a pool. Our pool guy we initially had suddenly stopped answering our texts. After two months, I was able to get on another pool guy’s schedule and haven’t heard back from him after he helped us replace our cracked three way valve...

Now on Day 5. The color changing is heading in the right direction. It’s now a teal cloudy color. Not yet blue. I shocked it again tonight. My thought is because it’s been 5 days of this process it’s time to clean the filter bc my PSI went from 10 to 18. Filter is running. I am currently...
