I have a friend that is a new pool owner of an old pool and he took a picture of his filter in hopes of learning something about it. It appears to be similar to my canister filter except it has multiple flat filters where mine has three large canisters. I will post a pic and would appreciate ANY...

I shut the production level down to 0% throughout the entire SLAM. - - - Updated - - - I shut the production level down to 0% throughout the entire SLAM. I actually passed the OCLT test this morning and my FC level only dropped .5 from 9PM to 9AM. Now that I am done with the slam, should I...

SLAM update and I need some expert advice.... I decided to work from home the last two days so that I could stay on top of SLAMing my pool. I have been able to check my FC levels almost every 2 hrs throughout the day and have been keeping it steadily around 20. The lowest it got was yesterday...

We just replaced some of our pool equipment back in early June (prior to me discovering this amazing site!) and the company that we used installed a Zodiac Nature2 Fusion Soft SWG. The original cartridge on the Fusion Soft that came with it was a DuoClear with a yellow top. The PB told me that...

OK, so short follow up. I just checked my FC level out of curiosity and it was 7 (it was 10 about 4 hrs ago). This leads me to believe that I need to continue SLAMing my pool. I went ahead and added bleach and will measure my level again in 30 min to make sure that I am in the correct ball park...

Thanks guys. I am going to perform the test tonight and then tomorrow morning to be certain. I will post follow up results.

Ok, so I think that I am in good shape now after a SLAMing my pool for 3 straight days. Initially, I was able to maintain b/t a 20-24 FC level for a solid day and followed up by testing 3-4 times a day and adding (tons of bleach) for the next 2 days. My water has been the clearest that I have...

The instructions recommend b/t 3.0 to 3.5gpl (which I believe means 3000 to 3500ppm). Should I still not worry about it until the SLAM is over?

My salinity is at 4200 ppm which is pretty far over what is recommended for my system. Should I be concerned with this when I am SLAMing?

It actually wasn't too terribly cloudy after the initial shock. I brushed the heck out of it right after, and I will continue brushing regularly over the next few days. How often do you recommend I test the FC level? Also, when doing the FC test, after I add the R-0870 (DPD Powder) and I begin...

I started SLAMming my pool this evening. I will keep this thread updated in case anyone has some good advice to add. Thursday evening 1. Turned SWG to 0% production and set my pump to run 24/7 2. added muriatic acid to get my PH from 7.5 to 7.2 3. added 505 oz of 8.25% bleach 4. Tested 30 min...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question but......in order to shut down my SWG, should I just change the chlorine production from 50% to 0%? -OR- is there some way to shut off only this piece of equipment? How long should I wait before turning it back on? I appreciate everyones' help with this! I...

Thanks so much guys for the advice. I will start "SLAM"ming that bad boy tomorrow!

This marks my inaugural post on this site and I am so thankful that I found this!!! We bought our house (which already had the pool) about 2 yrs ago. It had old equipment and I have recently replaced it. I was paying a PB to come periodically to monitor but now I am taking it over with my newly...
