1st Time SLAM

Btw what on earth is an in overnight chlorine loss test??

I am not losing chlorine, it's still fairly high.. too high for swimming.. also I seen where ppl say 7 ppm is where it should be but, I thought 3-5ppm was safe swimming level

Thank you for the polling, I am was talking about a new thread I made, but boy i sure got many comments on an old one.. not a one on a new question (thread) I made.

I missed that thread, I'll respond.

Also, as to weather or not I know if IV got algae or not, I believe my filter cartridge would be the first to tell me.. am I wrong on this assumption? If I'm pulling clear cartridges as opposed to the slimy yellow cartridges.. I have had 3 clear cartridges no yellow sludge.

It may or it may not. You can have algae, without slimy yellow cartridges. You *may* have killed all the algae, you just don't know without an OCLT.

Sorry if I'm being a bit rude I didn't mean to, just still dealing with Mr donoldson who has my feathers in a ruffle .. not intended for you at all.. I'm sry

I can't carry a torch for @Donldson he has more experience than most on this site. I heed his words.

It is safe to swim, if you can see the bottom, and your FC is between minimum and <= SLAM level FC for your CYA. Use this link-->FC/CYA Levels

Without a kit, we don't know your CYA or FC to be able to tell you it is safe.

Thank you for all your help
