This is my first year opening a pool. We normally take it down over winter. I'm in the process of SLAMing and need to know if I'm doing something wrong.
FC: 17.5
CC: 1
pH: 7.4
TA: 100
CYA: 60
The SWG is running most of the day and night. I have been using concentrated bleach and just added the 7th 121oz jug since yesterday. The water looks better but it is still cloudy and I can't quite see the bottom yet. After looking at the Chlorine/CYA chart I thought the FC needed to be 28. I added the bleach in the amounts recommended by PoolMath calculations and can't seem to get CC high enough. Am I missing something? Do I need more bleach?
One other question, we're going out of town in a few days. If I go through all this now and get the water clear, is it likely to stay that way while I'm gone? I hate to spend all this time and money in vain.
