Last FC reading for the day at 8:45 was 27.5. No bleach added tonight.

Yes, that is the exact product that was added. The pump will be run continuously throughout the SLAM process. Update: I checked the FC again at 2:45 and it was 21. My pool is in a very shaded area, so I was surprised by how much it had dropped. I knew I was going to be gone a while...

So here is my update: Water was still cloudy this am. My husband did not run the filter last night and vacuumed the pool first thing this am. He was able to get some stuff off the bottom of the pool that had settled during the night. I began the SLAM process this morning. !0:30 am - FC levels...
