Valves are open, pump has water

I set out to open our pool today. I usually pay the pool company to do it but after watching them and YouTube, I figured I could to this and save some money. I followed the TPF pages and have completed the following: - Cover removed - Plugs and gizmos removed, replaced with fittings -...

Great info! Thanks The tint seems to be pretty much gone so as you said, the filter took care of it. My big question now is the CC -- before the SLAM is was 0.5-1.0, since the slam its been 1.0-2.5. I'm thrown by it going up after adding CL and wondering how the SLAM will play out. The OCLT...

Thanks for the help! I never thought of poly-fill, might have to try that or the paper towels. The OCLT is holding but my CC has been 1.5 and this am is even 2.0 (both readings higher than when I started the SLAM). Water is looking good and no stains have resettled yet but guessing I need to...

Any metal experts around tonight and have any advice? I will say that the CL has dropped to 'normal' SLAM level and the water has almost completely cleared. Still in need of some help w/ my prior post. I've copied it here if that helps ... The green is down to a 'slight haze/tint' at this...

Thanks for the help smforte and pabeader! So if I'm reading correctly and understanding some additional TFP stuff I've reread, even though I was holding CL at a good rate for normal operations after the AA treatment, SLAMing essentially negated the metal sequestrantion and all that iron is now...

Pictures

I was trying to upload pictures and failed but will try again. Check - pool math % updated, SWG turned off I ran the test 5 times b/c I was unclear as to how I'd get such a reading - ha. Even went down to the trash to verify all bottles of bleach were 8.25% and 121 ounces. Pre-SLAM FC was 6.5...

We did the AA treatment a couple of weeks ago and had just gotten CL to hold and had a bit of rebalancing to do. The water and pool surface were both crystal clear. As it is warming up here, we are anxious to jump in soon. Each season pre-swim time, we SLAM the pool to kind of 'reset' things...

Thank you JoyfulNoise and JamesW It has been a few days since I added salt so the average and instant are only off by 100ppm. Average was 3400 and Instant was 3500. Are you asking for other numbers in Diagnostics? I can get those and post in the am. Is there a way to 'test' if the cell is...

Thanks pooldv! Great info!! I learn something every time I visit the site :)

Hi TFT, first post here - I'm usually a reader but I'm stuck on this one. Big thank you to everyone that answers all of the questions posted here. Best forum I've ever read! I am just coming off an AA treatment. All is going well. Thursday will be the two week mark and no reappearance of...

Just donated - not sure what took so long as this site has saved our pool many times over! :) Thank you for all that y'all do!
