Hi all,
I'm new to pool care and SLAMing. We've always had a pool service, but our guy retired and costs are high, and here we are. I found SLAM about halfway through opening my pool, so I know I'm going around this backwards. But I'm trying to fix it now.
First things first,
TC - 5
FC - 15
PH - 7.1
Alk - 150
CYA - 0
Hardness - 150
Pool is about 15,000 gallons and we have a sand filter.
That CYA number is the one that I can't figure out. I've added a whole 5 pounds of stabilizer, in the skimmer with a skimmer sock to contain it. It's dissolved. The number is still 0. I'm worried about adding more because I'm worried that I'll somehow add too much and it'll be a whole other problem.
Am I adding it wrong? Should I be doing something else? Keep adding?
Thanks, and please be kind to a newbie!
