Thanks to everyone for all the advice, help, and answering all the crazy questions. I believe the slamming process is done. Passed the overnight test this morning. Temp. today 93. My crystal clear pool is back.:sun:

Thanks Jason. So let me make sure I understand. From here on out my main chemical will be just liquid bleach. No more tablets or dry acid or borax unless I need to increase or decrease something? The pool store will sure miss me.

Pool is looking great. Crystal clear. Numbers are all falling in line. I can probably do the overnight test Saturday night and I bet it will be good. My question for you guys is once I've completed the slamming process can I, or should I turn back on my inline tablet feeder ?

Quick question. Once the slamming process is over. How long does it take for the chlorine to fall back to a safe swimming level? Generally. Days , a weak or so? Thanks

Thanks for the info. I tested and posted the PH with all the other results Texas Splash asked me to once my test kit arrived

Got my TF-100 test kit with the speed stir today. Here are my first test results. Since Saturday evening I,ve added a total of 6 gallons of 8.25% bleach, scubbed everything and vacuumed several times. in case you all need to know. FC= 17.5 CC= 2 TC= 19.5 CYA= 40 Ph.= 7.5 TA= 110 Thanks for any...

Will all this bleach hurt the liner?

I just had a water sample done at the pool store and wanted to post results to get your thoughts. This is after 3 gallons of bleach starting Saturday and then added another gallon after getting sample from pool. Fac=3 Tac=3 Ch=300 Cya=30 Ta=20 Ph=7.6 Tds=500 Pho=250. Any thoughts you guys?

This is probably a stupid question but why no chlorine tablets and use bleach instead? I have an inline feeder for the 3 inch tabs that I could crank all the way open. Differance between the tabs and bleach.Once I get my problem solved should I not use the tabs again?

I know you guys say add nothing but bleach till my test kit arrives Thursday. Sorry but Im getting nervous. Not see much progress with the semi green cloudy water. I have some clarifier on hand. Would it be completely wrong to add a little?

Thanks everyone for all your help. I'll vacuum again tonight and add a gallon of bleach each day till test kit gets here later in the week. Thanks again

A gallon each day till tested or just one more gallon? Thanks

on the pool school FC/CYA chart it shows I need to be at FC=12 for slamming. After using the pool calculator it appears I should add a little over 2 gallons of bleach to reach that level. Problem is I will have added that amount as of Monday morning and my new test kit wont be here till Thurday...

Good thinking. Thanks
