SLAM Day!!

[BMeeley]

Here we go. Loaded in 18 jugs of bleach. Water temp of 68. Adjusted pH to ~7.35. Got as many leaves and debris out as possible. CYA holding steady at 50. FC was basically zero. Added ~756 oz bleach for target FC of 20. Will test FC again in a couple of hours and see how rapidly it's dropping.

Die, you organics! Die!!

Now the fun begins. Stay on it. You may surprised how quickly that FC tries to drop in the early stage of the SLAM. Good luck!

Oh, yeah, baby. Dropped from 20 to 13 in 2.5 hours. Added another 267 oz to get back to 20. Brushed sides and bottom. Check again in a couple hours and see how she's doing. Love the meme!

cheers

When this is over, I may build one of these...

Absolutely!

I think I'm getting near the end. I should know for sure by the morning, but here are the results over 2-1/2 days. I did not bother with the CC test each time, since the FC was dropping. Holding steady most of today. I'm assuming the OCD test is literally overnight, even though I haven't added any bleach in 7 hours, is that right?

Pool looks better in December than it ever has!

That is correct. Check your FC after the sun goes down and before the sun comes up. Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

Sweet! Getting, there, baby!

Muchas gracias, TFP!!
