I did a drain and fill and replaced all of the water. The water turned a light transparent green. I just added chlorine and did not SLAM. I wanted to get all the levels correct. I brought the CC from 2.5 to 0.5 and then adjusted my PH and CYA. After about a week I started to SLAM. Im shooting for 12ppm of FC min.
SLAM day 1 @ 3pm (4/13) sunny day
PH 7.6
CYA ~ 37
FC 5.5
CC 0.5
CH 130
TA 120
*added 3 gals on 8.25% bleach and 5 tablets
SLAM day 1 @ 9pm
FC 21
*added 1 gal on 8.25 bleach so FC is maybe ~ 26
SLAM day 2 @ 7am
FC = 25.5 (0.5ppm loss but tablets added chlorine so loss of chlorine was greater than 0.5ppm)
SLAM day 2 @ 8pm very cloudy
FC = 18
*added 2 gals on 8.25 bleach and removed tablets overnight for morning test
SLAM day 2 @ 9pm without tablets
FC = 26.5
SLAM day 3 @ 7am sunny
FC =25.5
*only 1 ppm loss. I add the same tablets back in
SLAM day 3 @ 7pm
FC = 12!!! is this normal loss?
Do I still need to keep SLAMing since I only reached a 1.0ppm chlorine loss and not 0.5? sorry for the long post
