I passed the OCLT and have 0 CC's. When I vacuumed and brushed today the debris still seemed green. I'm not feeling very confident with my CYA readings so far. I'm certain It's in the 40-50 range, but of course that effects my shock level. I went ahead and bumped my FC to 20 in case I wasn't...

This is my first time SLAMing and just want to make sure this sounds right? A quick overview of the last 3 weeks I did a SLAM for 10 days to kill algae, went out of town for 9 days. After 10 days of SLAMing the water was no longer green but very cloudy. I could barely make out the main drain...

I've stopped using the dichlor and trichlor now that I'm following the TFP protocol. I had been using them though and that is the cause of my stabilizer issues. I've been doing partial refills since Saturday. I would like to waste more water at a time, but when my water drops below skimmer...

FC 15.5 CC 0 PH 7.4 TA 90 CH 100 CYA 140 I am brand new to the TFP site and really excited to be here! I've read through all the Getting Started pages. Up to now I have used the traditional pool store chemicals: dichlor, trichlor, etc. We currently have cloudy water with a light green tint...
