well, I started everything up again and stopped adding and the FC has been steady all week at 5.5 so I think we are in the clear. Thank you, everyone!

There wasn’t

check and check chlorine . SWG is off

ok. couple stupid questions here. I just reread about passing the overnight test. yesterday the pool was: 4/14 8:24 a.m. 12 pH 7.8 and TA 110 5:05 p 10 10:42 p 7.5 4/15 12.5 at 8:15 am. 1 :00 same 4:25 p 11.5 10:10 p 10 4/16 7:25 a.m. 12.5 4:00 pm 8 8:30 pm 9.5 So have we passed? also the...

So this morning my CL was steady BUT my pH went right back up to 8.0 again. We just put acid in last night! The TA is 110 and it was 90 last Sunday. What the heck is the deal?

Yes, I think so. However, my CYA is NOT 30. I can still see the dot so let me add some more CYA to it. Sigh….

The CL goes up and down like a yo-yo. CYA is 20 or less. App says 10 is the slam number. Husband keeps asking me if we should make the number higher to kill it off. 4-7 4/8: FC - added 4 gal of bleach (all we had and no chems. Had to order on Amazon) our chems said there was nothing in the...

I test after an hour. I’ve been testing after I add it to see. BUT we still need to constantly add acid. It’s ridiculous

A combination.

My SWG is for a 40k pool. It’s Hayward, the same as my pool equipment. Not sure what you mean other than that Ok. I think I did this right. My CYA is at 50 and from Monday to today i went from 6 to 3. I added bleach. I also can’t get my pH down to save my life. We add acid and it comes...

My SWG is for a 40k pool. It’s Hayward, the same as my pool equipment. Not sure what you mean other than that. I found the spot you posted above, but I don’t know what to put in there for a number.. right now it’s at 40% and we turned it up to 50% today bc the FC was down to 5 from 6.5...

I think I have made it without giving in to the pool store. I woke up this morning and the level was only down 1.0. I’ve been slamming for 3 weeks now and my numbers have been whacked. I am enclosing the last week’s numbers. You will see very low numbers. BUT the water is clear, pool vacc’d...

When i first started this nightmare, I went and reread. I use the app. The app told me what my slam level was based on the CYA. I swear I read that CYA 20 was okay. I will up the CYA tomorrow and go over the slam protocol again. The water is crystal clear. Today the FC was 8.5 this...

Who knows. When I started this APRIL 2, 2023, it was 20

Today’s test this morning. Down to 5 this morning. The numbers you see on the right is the whole number, not the half. I dont’ know why I started the numbers that way….but the dips are weird. Like 4/22 it dipped to 6 and then 5 yesterday and 5 today. It’s crazy. We took the lights out...

No.

Of course. But I can’t pass the overnight.

Y’all i am done at the end of the week. I will go to the pool store and get their Crud. I have been slamming since April 2nd. Water is clear. I see no algae, pool has been brushed but I still can’t maintain FC. I keep a log of ALL the levels and bleach I have added since them. My last week...

12.5

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a lot of bleach but it’s more concentrated than Clorox. ANd my Slam level is only 10 so it is not taking as much….

CYA was 20 when we started.

So i have been slamming the pool now going on week 2. The first week there were problems with stupidity and torrential downpour. Week 2 and the CL is going up and down. Just when I think we’re clear, it goes down again. I am checking it 2-3 times a day and adjusting and then something told...

NO. I just forgot to. I was so mad at myself when I was going through the steps again. I mean to - i read it and just forgot. But the FC loss was good until the downpours.

So i started a slam 5 days ago. We had a DELUGE for two straight days. I “thought” we were done with the slam but I was checking it a little bit longer. Anyway, we had to drain the pool TWICE. I was not able to check obviously for 2 days. Now I have started up again and wow. Just wow...

I'm so excited and decided the next time the pool gets algae due to hub's negligence, I am going to let HIM slam the pool. it's a PITA to do! BUT I wanted to make sure it was done right and I read and reread the instructions myself w/out relying on him. We hadn't had algae in a while.

Good afternoon. Just finished a SLAM. passed overnight test w/zero loss Thursday morning. Test CL today and it had dropped 5ppm since Thursday. Test today just now. That seems like a lot but it IS hot and there is NO sign of algae anywhere and we followed all the procedures to a T. Just...

and don't listen to any friends who recommend anything but what TFP recommends! which is: bleach, CYA and MA...basically

order from the TP store here. You shouldn't be waiting 2-3 weeks for chems. Please don't cut corners in your quest to ungreen your pool. These guys know what they are talking about!
