I need to SLAM my friends pool to get rid of algae (CYA had climbed too high due to tablet use), but the hardness is also very low. Should I adjust hardness first, or go ahead and SLAM?
I've been attempting to accomplish what a SLAM should without a text kit and lots of bleach. Whatever chemistry problems with the pool you have, you can fix over time. A pool filled with algae helps nothing.
Worrying about CH when you have an algae bloom is like worrying about the drape colors on the Titanic.
good deal, glad you have a friend that is open to a new way of handling his pool. hopefully he sticks with the TFP method. would have loved to have seen the look on the pool guy's face when he fired him, and if he told him he was going to just use bleach the guy probably rolled his eyes and told him he was an idiot

good luck with that, but you should buy the test kit and do it correctly. how on earth are you going to know you are finished 100%? and please don't say the pool store testing.
