I seem to have the opposite problem from all the other threads I found when searching... After my SLAM my FC is dropping incredibly slow.
Current levels:
FC 8.5
CC 0
PH 7.3
TA 105
CH 220
CYA 20 (estimated)
A week ago my 2-year-old pooped in the pool and you know how poor swim diapers hold the stuff in. So we cleaned it out and then SLAMed the pool. The one and only time in the past that I SLAMed the pool it took forever for the FC to come back down so I only took it up to 9ppm this time, I know that's lower than it should have been. Since it's an indoor pool I only brought the CYA up to 20ppm and my kit can't measure that so that's based on calculation from the amount of stabilizer I added.
It has now been a week and my FC has only dropped to 8.5 ppm. I turned off my SWG at the end of the SLAM so that no FC is being added. I know for most outdoor pools the cure is UV from the sun, but for indoor - any recommendations on what to do? What do the huge indoor public pools do that have to regularly elevate their FC for this reason? I've heard that things can be added to neutralize the chlorine such as ammonia, but I'd rather not add other chemicals to my water.
Thanks!
