Cloudy again after rains.

Let's see if @Leebo can help fix your poolmath account.
If you are taking photos with your phone set the camera to take lower resolution photos and you should be able to post them.
Cloudy blue green does indicate a need to slam. Your slam target is FC 16 ppm. So you would want to add enough chlorine to hit 16ppm and test again every couple of hours and bump the FC back to 16 as needed. It looks like you have been doing that so stay the course until the water is clear.

Ok I will do that. I would appreciate the help with PM, I'm afraid to delete the wrong pool and loose all my test logs.

So I'm using SLAM level chlorine additions, but you don't think it's necessary for me to SLAM at this point? I was able to attach a picture.

Can you see the bottom of the pool? That looks more like a clear green than a cloudy green. Have you ever had the water tested for metals?

 

[Geminisq]

No I can't see the bottom. No testing for metals. Now my FC is 9, down from 15 this morning. Should I continue to maintain SLAM levels???

 

[notmycupoftea]

I know and I cannot figure out how to remove that 2nd pool from my account. When I first started navigating the site I had difficulty going between PM & PS. Water is cloudy and blue-green color. My picture won't upload on this thread Idk why.

I just downloaded the app because I saw your post and had no idea it existed. If you go to the "Gear" on the top right (settings) and scroll all the way down there is a red "Delete This Pool" option.

If you've lost 6ppm of FC in a half day (you said down to 9 from 15, and it's only 11:30 eastern), it would seem you definitely need to maintain SLAM levels until the pool clears. I'm baffled that you had no chlorine loss overnight if you managed to lose 6ppm in only a handful of daylight hours.

I'm not only relying only on what PM tells me, but also my own observations. I don't have the same knowledge as you, the reason I'm trying to learn

It’s ok. It overwhelmed all of us. Well, all of us except the Martybot. He was programmed with the right code from the get-go. But anyway you’re doing great and we can help fill in any gaps.

Like your 35 CYA. Always round up to the next 10. We can’t see the true value by eye in between the lines because it’s logrythmic in scale and half isn’t half. So any 31-39 becomes a 40. Then use your knowledge to tell pool math what you see so it can tell you what you need.

I corrected it to 40 in my test log(after I figured out how to do it) but Idk if it shows up to anyone else. Thanks!

There may have been testing error for the OCLT. Go ahead and keep slamming.

You aren't the only one baffled Thank you for confirming, I feel like I need to stay at SLAM levels as well.

 

[Newdude]

+1. Finishing a SLAM at the end is much easier than starting another one.

Maintain that bad boy the easy way.

Will do. thank you for your help!

I'm afraid I will delete the wrong one. They both have the same name, but the one I need to delete does not have any recent test logs. I could not find my pool account for a couple days so I added it again in error
Thank you!

 

[Newdude]

I was gonna suggest deleting them both but that would delete your logs too. Carry on.

Export the data from both of the pools. Delete the one with old data. and then import the data.

Can you rename one of them, then see which name shows the recent logs and delete the other one?

What's weird is when I switch between the 2 and look at the logs to see which one is which, the logs are identical. I will export one and delete the other then import my data back in.

I think so.
