Ok new house rule of no testing before coffee. Just checked and cc is either 0 or .5 it seemed to slightly turn pink but one drop back to clear. Will be testing oclt again tonight and cleaned the filter so fingers crossed only 1-2 more days of slam.

I have to say this site is amazing I have accomplished more in 5 days than 5 weeks of diy/pool stored. Everyone is great answering questions and not making me feel like an idiot

Today the pool is clear and both oclt/cc are good. Going to continue at slam levels another day or 2 to be safe, but honestly I wasn’t sure this day would ever come

Make sure it's really clear and not clear in comparison to what you've started with. Have seen many people say it's all clear but when you let the filter keep working all of a sudden what was clear 2 days before is no match.

You're getting close to TFP clear - keep going on that SLAM for another couple of days.

My plan is to keep at slam today and tomorrow. I did have a question on Sunday we will be gone for probably 8-10 hours during the day. With my cya of 30 could I pop one or 2 tabs in the chlorintor to help keep some fc going, or just bring up to slam and adjust as needed when I get home?

The latter. Don’t add more CYA during a SLAM.

The pool looks more clear but it’s not crystal. If you could tell if a quarter is heads or tails on the bottom, then it is clear.

So it might be pouring down rain and the water is chilly but that’s not stopping finally having pool time

Did you pass OCLT yet, If not keep going and then OCLT twice for insurance.
I'd get rid of the black on the steps that are in the water.

I can't remember from before in your thread - did you ever pull the stairs out and clean them? Or were they not in the pool when it was a green mess? Stairs are a notorious hiding spot for algae.

I have passed oclt since Friday. The black on the steps is a stain I scrubbed for like 2 hours with a brush and would not come off
