First pool test

OK will do that. Also, I saw earlier that Pat said my SLAM FC is 16 would be safe to swim in @ or below 16. However I am a SWG pool, and it is below CYA level of 60. last test was @ 3.5, and I added the 10% bleach this morning so it wouldn't get lower. If CYA is below 30 and a SWG pool, is it ok to get in @ 3.5ppm FC?
 
Also read the Water Balance for SWGs and it suggested the following levels:
FC 4-6 ppm (currently too low, @ 3.5)
PH 7.5-7.8 (currently too high, @ +8)
TA 60-80 (currently now too high, @ 90)
CH

  • 220-320 for fiberglass (currently much lower, @ 80)
  • CYA 70-80 (currently much lower, possibly below 30)
  • Salt 200-400 ppm ABOVE recommended optimum level (currently correct @ 200+)
  • Borates 30-50 ppm (optional)(none)
SLAM says to lower PH to 7.2 though. is that correct?
 
To be honest, I don't know how it works with a SWG.. I dont have one so Im not sure what to do with that. Maybe some one else can give you an idea.... If it were me, I would shut it off until my slam is over and all my results were where I wanted them to be...

You have to lower PH to slam because your ph readings go out the window above 10 FC so you lower it before you start the slam
