I understand the process. I added a total of 8 gallons overall and then I left the SWG running at 100% to maintain the levels. Using the calculator on this site, it indicated 6 gallons and 1 quart of liquid chlorine 12.5% concentration will get me to a FC shock level of 24. When I checked the CYA chart, it indicated that 24 was the proper shock level for a CYA of 60, so I am confused as to how this was not enough for my CYA level. Should I be using a different calculator somewhere for this?
I apologize, you are correct. I had your pool at 40K
From there, I added another gallon about 2 hours later with the final gallon in the evening just before bed and then left the SWG running at superchlorinate level for another 24 hours. The levels were being maintained via the superchlorination on the SWG when I checked using the high range test strips, but unfortunately, I didn't have a way of testing the CC to make sure the process was finished.
I have put enough chlorine in the pool for now to keep a FC count, and I will restart the process once I have the full test kit. In the meantime, if the calculations, I came to using the calculator are not correct, can you confirm the amount of chlorine and the shock level, so I can make sure to reach the proper level?
You seem to understand the SLAM process well When you get a few minutes, it will help responders if you add your pool and equipment specs to your sig. Go to User Control Panel, upper left, under TFP logo. Can't wait for you to get your kit! In the meantime, are you going to stock up on some 12.5%?
Thank you for all of your help.
