Official SLAM free thread....

[gtnos]

to me, the ultimate testimony to the BBB / TFPC method is never having to SLAM.

Post here if you have never had to SLAM..... I went all last year without having to shock / SLAM once.

(we are not counting bringing to shock level at closing as part of closing procedure)

Congrats to all who post and here is to another SLAM free summer!!!!

My pool was completed in March of 2013. I have never SLAM'd or even had to shock the pool. I've been pretty good about keeping PH and Chlorine levels in check. So far this year, the only thing that is above recommended levels is the CH, but that is a byproduct of high CH in our city water. I keep that in check by keeping my PH between 7.2-7.6.

I've never had to SLAM ! ??

I know I prolly dont count because Ive only had water in my pool since November. I have never had to slam. However, let me say this. Had I not found this forum, I would be a wimpering idiot and pool stored for sure !!! Im so glad yall are here and I found you!

 

[Richard320]

Never slammed.

What is this thing you call "closing procedure?"

 

[Isaac-1]

Last SLAM was a few years ago due to pump outage and was brief

 

[Smykowski]

Over two years of no SLAMing. This pool thing is almost getting too easy.

I think I'll go mess with my TA....

 

[gtnos]

Never slammed.

[gtnos]

Dang it! Too slow. You took the words right off my keyboard!

Last slam was the first year we had the pool, needed it because there was leftover **** in the pump and hoses from the previous owner, and I hadn't quite caught on to the TFPC way. 3 seasons ago.

This is the first season after leaving the pool up over winter. Opened to a nice sparkly pool, with just a bit of trash that made it through the mesh cover.

lol....

My brand new pool has never been SLAM'ed! I'd like to keep it that way!

 

[gtemkin]

In case directly responding to this topic jinxes my water, I'll just say I share the same record as the others who have responded.

 

[Dreampool13]

Never officially slammed. Once I had algae growing on a shady spot of my raised wall, but I just splashed bleach over the stone and it went away.

Ugh just noticed my daughters socks. Lol she jumped in after volleyball today in her full uniform but pulled off her socks and left them for me. Thanks kid!

 

[Casey]

Nice pool and socks dream pool!

 

[Dreampool13]

Thanks we love it! And thanks to TFP, the only expensive part is heating it since February.

 

[skylar18]

Never slammed or closed the pool ever. (1 year so still early but confident I never will have to!) Stayed crystal clear all winter. Of course it is a bit easier here in Texas!

 

[SwimAustin]

Of course it is a bit easier here in Texas!

Not if your Texas pool came with Texas quantities of CYA already in the water.
