Cant keep chlorine level up

[RLP]

Algae is still probably consuming chlorine.

Keep the FC at the upper end of the slam level. Dont let it get towards the lower level or below. That will extend the slam.

Are you brushing frequently? Running the pump 24/7?

Clean the test vials with bleach or alcohol.

Brush and vacuum every day...I just rinse my vials after each ise don't clean them

My cya is 20...should I be bringing that up or just focus on the SLAM and holding level overnight

Follow the SLAM Process. Read the article. The CYA should be a minimum of 30 for SLAM.

So now what should I do? With my cya being 20

 

[mknauss]

Add 10 ppm worth of CYA.

Thanks

Makes sense...cause my water is absolutely crystal clear

Clean the test vial you use for FC/CC testing. Use alcohol or straight bleach.

Just note that 3 days of SLAM isn’t that long. It may take a bit longer.
