I have started my first slam. I think I already messed up or guessed well. My pool was really in bad shape. I have green and mustard algae. My cya was off the charts on my test kit. Tds is 3000+ and of ph 8.5 hardness was too high to continue wasting drops! I drained nearly all the water to start anew.
My new water test results were (pretty slam) CYA less then 30, TA 190ppm, CH 340ppm PH 7.8, TDS 550. I tossed 7 of 3 inch stabilizing chlorine tabs on my spill way from the hot tub to the pool to add a little chlorine but more to add CYA. My son accidentally added 2 bottles of bleach to the pool 242oz of 8.5% ( He misunderstood what i had told him). 24 hours later my CYA is 50 my FC is 20. Green algae is nearly gone. Water is very milky. According to the forum I need to raise my FC level to 29 for mustard algae. Pool math says to add 230oz of bleach.
Before I continue I want to make sure I'm on the right path. Please let me know if I messed up or Got lucky thanks in advance
