Hey TFP, I’m a new to this pool ownership gig, and super grateful for the level headed bunch of folks that maintain this site and are active in the forums. Love it! I have an inground plaster pool/spa combo, with shared filtration and heating. My builder has been pretty rough to deal with, and...

Getting my pool ready for summer after 40 inches of winter rain. TA, pH, and CH dialed back in very quickly using PoolMath. I took the CYA to around 60 before re-reading in the SLAM instructions to keep it low. I will raise it a bit more when done with SLAM. How long should I expect to...
