    Failed OCLT with 1.5 ppm lost - preparing to SLAM

    Wow! It decreases in potency quite a lot quicker than I anticipated, even when kept inside in 75F environment. I will take back the 3x unused 3 packs then.

    Failed OCLT with 1.5 ppm lost - preparing to SLAM

    Ok, cool! Thanks again. I have wayyy too much bleach now haha. Only used 2 of the 12 gallons I bought. Used the bulk discount at Home Depot. It will last a while if I keep it inside the house and in a closet, right?

    Failed OCLT with 1.5 ppm lost - preparing to SLAM

    Here are the results from last night and this morning: Before starting the SLAM, pH was at 7.8 and FC was at 3. I added muriatic acid to bring it down to 7.2 and then an hour or so later added the cholorine. 2000 hrs: FC was 19 ppm with the 5mL testing - so not as accurate. May have...

    Failed OCLT with 1.5 ppm lost - preparing to SLAM

    Failed OCLT with 1.5 ppm lost - preparing to SLAM

    Last night we performed our first OCLT after draining and refilling the pool on Saturday. Yesterday afternoon I checked the FC and it was low at 2.5 ppm. I added Cl and checked again at about 11 PM and it was 5.5 ppm. This morning, we were down to FC 4.0. CC for all the tests since the re-fill...
