That is good news and hopefully a sign that all the chlorine is finally taking-over the other items. Now it is possible that when you increase the FC, the CCs might climb again, only trying will show us for sure. But try to SLAM? .... sure! When you do, follow these steps:I checked my chlorine and have FC 1 but my CC are down to 4
- Test/adjust pH to 7.2.
- Test your CYA and let us know what you get. It should be quite low, but it would be good to know for sure.
- Increase FC only to "10". Don't add any CYA yet to ensure the FC will now hold after a 10-minute test. It should hold much better, to at least 5-10 after 10 minutes. If for some strange reason it doesn't (which I doubt), repeat until it does.
- Once you confirm the FC holds closer to 10 after 10 minutes, increase FC to "12". If your CYA was below 30, add only enough stabilizer to get the CYA to 30.
You are now is our standard SLAM mode, with a CYA at about 30 and FC at "12". The bleach (FC) should be MUCH more predictable and hold much better. Extremely high CCs should be a thing of the past. Maintain the FC of 12 as much as you can until you pass the 3 SLAM criteria as noted on the SLAM page (link below).
Keep us posted and good luck!
