I know the filter needs to run the whole time thru slam but I can't backwash anymore and I can't let it run all night.
All I can think of is running it in recirculate

I'm so ready to fill in the pool
- Thread starter solost
- Start date
So the return Jet puts the pressure up from 8 to 20?
That seems to me like a huge restriction.

Take the eyeball out if it's too restrictive.
Many people do use recirculate when they are unavailable to watch the pressure gauge.

Well after back flushing for 15mins the pressure without the jet is 10 and with the jet is 15 so a 5psi jump.
But at 22psi the in flow stops

Anybody know how to check the main drain
I know like 9yrs ago the pool floated up on the previous owner and she had it reinstalled

so doing the testing for tonight
fc18
cc1.5
cya less then 20
and ch350
plugging in these number into the pool math show I have changed 50-65% of my water since first taking these readings Friday night
questions
is this normal for swamp slams
do I need to raise the cya or let it ride this low until i'm done with the slam knowing that it is going to keep dropping

Standard operating procedure, rake, rake and rake some more until you don't get anything in the net for a day or two. With sweeping, it never ends. Even after you have completed the SLAM you should still sweep regularly.
I went in the water to try from different angles to get the bottom of the deep end

Mine was a pit this year and I know what it's like to be raking "blind". Like one other member I have a bent pole from getting the net a little too full once and trying to lift it out before bringing it in closer and being on the thicker part of the pole 
All I can say is it whatever you get out is just that much less bleach ($$$) you'll need to put in and that much quicker your SLAM will go. It's well worth the effort.

As of noon today almost there I might make my July 4th deadline

Wow. Looking good! Are those darker areas shadows or is that something showing on the bottom of the pool that is calling for more blind raking?
More vacuuming but at least I can see what I'm doing now

ahhh.... nothing like the sight of algea and other organics being eradicated. keep hitting it solost... your getting there. when you do get there, all of the sudden, the green cloud will fade away and it will be crystal clear. 
Their pH is 7.2 as they posted above so they are good. The CYA level was 40 or 50 last time they posted so that is OK too.
They already started the SLAM so who said anything about forgetting the bleach
Richard was suggesting testing more often rather than bumping it to 30 when your target is 20.
Keep brushing
Apparently my post was delayed, or everything that had been posted wasn't showing on my screen. When I typed that they had no test kit and no numbers. I wasn't referring to Richard's post when I said forget the bleach.

If the stuff is big enough to get caught in the rake, I'd rake.It's just that much less to backwash out of your filter or have to stop to check the level in the skimmer basket.
Woke up to clear water

Everyone was amazed how fast we got the pool clean with just great value bleach
