New to pool balancing. Got first test. Now what?!

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Pool water didn't drop more than 1 ppm last night but it did drop once the sun was out again. Should I go off the OCLT test result and take it that the SLAMing process is over? I kept it at shock level today just in case. But tomorrow I was planning on letting it drop so I can use it.
 
The point of the OCLT is to take the sun out of the equation since you will always loss FC to the sun. Sounds like you passed if the FC did not drop more than 1ppm overnight.

Safe to swim at any FC up to shock level :swim:
 
Way up there, 40ppm of CYA should be plenty, I would not go over 50ppm for a non SWG pool.

The FC level determines when the pool is safe, assuming the pH is in the 7s and you can see the bottom.
