1 week of slamming.

While I’m still Slamming should I still not test and adjust PH, Calcium, Alkalinity?
The water is still cloudy and has small piles of cloudy stuff.

Not during the SLAM process. Only FC. CC at the morning test of the OCLT.

So...... The pool is looking better and better each day. I'm still Slamming because it's not exactly clear yet. My CYA has been dropping slowly due to vacuuming a little to waste everyday and adding in new water that is double filtered! See my new filter: I made b(no no more added iron!) I've been using "polyfill" in my skimmer to help get the iron out. It's amazing how much iron water I pull out everyday. Looks like bad burnt, thick coffee.

I went to 2 stores today to get my water tested:
Store 1: Store 2: My test
FC 8.8 8.3 10
CC 8.9 9.4 10.25
PH 8.0 8.1
CH 118 112
TA 79 82
CYA 25 19
Iron .1 .4

So now that I'm hopefully coming out of Slamming (I'll test OCLT before I do), what should I start adjusting first? PH, CH TA or all?

Run a full set of tests once you pass all three criteria. With your own test kit.
