Please post results when finally balanced. I would like to know how much bleach you went through in the end.
1st SLAM!
- Thread starter mkohr
- Start date
Just wondering if you're checking the manufacturing date code on the bleach you are buying, so you have confidence it is still full strength.
I have been checking the codes...So far up to about 72 gallons in 5 days
15 gallons wal mart great value 8.25%
31 gallons clorox 8.25%
24 gallons Aldi-Tandil 8.25%
Ill see what it looks like when i get home... i hope i am soon done i am literally buying and adding bleach as fast as i can. This am i added twice the amount it called for (7 gallon 8.25%) and left my 3GDP stenner pump running at full blast. Then had my wife add twice the amount it called for at 11:00 am. (6 gallons Clorox 8.25%)
Today alone i added 14 gallons of 8.25% clorox

The rapidly dropping FC and the higher CC levels often point to an ammonia problem ... the solution is to keep adding bleach.
Did you have a CYA reading when you opened or did you add some?

Also my CC is alway typically very low when testing.....It just keeps eating FC

My concern is the combined Corine is always very low 1 to 3 and the water looks pretty clear

There is another thread where the CC seems to be stuck at 3ppm ... but that was certainly a case of ammonia.
Usually the CC does not climb very much during a SLAM. How much sun does your pool get? No cover right?

No cover… Full sun throughout the day the only shade to get his early morning and late evening

Well gang I think I may be at or near the end of my 1st SLAM! The past 3 hours or so have needed to add anything and for the 1st time holding above 16FC consistently. CC is about 1.5 though... Will check for overnight FC loss.
Only took about 80 gallons of 8.25 bleach.

Last night i tried the overnight free chlorine test again. After dark FC was 16 and CC was 1.5
Woke up this am and FC was 7 and CC was 1.5. Oh and by the way the water is perfectly clear... Do i still need to keep Slamming?

Stupid question .... Should I keep my filter running overnight when check for FC loss

I have been Slamming for over a week and 1/2 and my pool water is crystal clear.My CC is ranging anywhere from .5 to 1.0 , My problem is i can get past the OCLT part. It is down from 10 to about 4-5 again CC .5 to 1.0.
Since i have started slamming i used easily 100+ gallons of 8.25% ( some was 12.5%) bleach some days in the beginning 20+gallons per day. I have been following the process to the "T". I guess my concern is am i missing something? It seems like a lot of bleach especially since it was almost clear when started ( no green just cloudy) and clear for almost a week now.
