I'm trying to finish the SLAMing process. All of the debris is out, PH is 7.4, TA is 120, CH is 150, and CYA is 40. I was doing the overnight test last night. I tested at 8 pm CST and FC was at 17 ppm with CC at .5 ppm. I was testing again this morning at 5 am CST and ran out of Taylor 0871 solution. I ordered some replacement solution yesterday from the TFP supply store, but it will more than likely not be here until Friday. I use the 10 ml line on the tube where the multiplication of number of drops is by .5. When I ran out of solution, I had put the 12th drop in and the sample was still plenty reddish. The filter has been running since Sunday and the water looks pretty decent; just really cloudy.
My question is this: Should I just hold off on adding any more liquid chlorine (Pool Essentials 10% from Wal-Mart) until I get more solution or should I add one more gallon? Personally, I think I should NOT do anything without the ability to tell what the FC/CC levels are, but I haven't been doing this very long!
