1st post since finishing new pool.

[Grey2175]

Got it. I'll post the numbers correctly tonight and tomorrow morning.

 

[Grey2175]

Tonights numbers. Quite a drop in FC for one day? How?

FC. 6.5
CC. .5
CYA. 50

Added 5.7 Gallons of bleach.

Results

FC 23 lost 2.5 overnight
CC .5
TA 180
CYA 50
pH 8.2

Any suggestions other than maintaining shock level?

You can skip all the tests except FC/CC until you finish your SLAM. pH is going to read incorrectly with FC over 10, TA and CYA don't change that much over the course of a SLAM.

Brush once a day, test and adjust FC at least 3 times a day and have a nice big glass of POP (Pool Owner Patience)

What Me Bruce said. I would also add to make sure you check every little nook and cranny for places algae may be hidding. Check places that chlorine has trouble getting to. Around stairs and behind light fixtures are notorious. Many people have SLAMed much longer than they needed to because they didn't check those areas thoroughly which caused them to fail OCLT.

Since the pool is new and had water for only 2 weeks I assumed those hidden spots for growths wouldn't yet be an issue?
