After SLAMing, balancing other chemical levels

[ActivFam]

Almost finished with SLAMing pool looking crystal clear. Thanks for getting me to this point!

At what piont do I start testing and adjusting other levels? Before SLAM 7/8:
ph was 7.0
Alk 190
Ch 175
CYA 60

does my water need be at “Target FC level” or lower to get true readings?

The high FC will only make the pH test inaccurate. Wait until FC < 10ppm for the pH.

You really should not need to adjust anything based on those numbers. Just let the FC drift down and then keep the pH in the 7s.
