You do not need to worry about PH during your SLAM.
YES, You will go through lots of R-0871 and BLEACH. If you didn't order the XL, you might want to.
It's ok that you added salt, but don't run your SWG during the SLAM as it will skew the numbers. Turn it off, unplug it, or put it to 0% output.
For your SLAM to proceed the quickest, you will need to keep
The FC at SL as much as possible during the day. When you are home, I would test every 1-2 hours and bring it back up. I also would overshoot the FC level anytime I couldn't test for a while (at work, asleep, running errands, etc). Always record your results and what you did. You will notice a trend and also notice that your FC is holding longer.
You will get tired of buying bleach and folks might think your crazy, but IT WORKS. and once it's complete, you will be armed with so much knowledge to be in control of your pool.
TA is the last thing to worry about. Once everything is in check, you can work on that. Don't stress over it now.
Keep your chin up! You've got this.
