Do high chlorine levels around 28 PPM during SLAM have a chance to damage pool equipment?

May,

No I don't, but that is why I have the speed-stir..

You'd have to tear it from my cold heads...

Thanks,

I use a speed stir so every drop is automatically swirled.

As long as the sample does not turn clear when you add a batch of drops it is fine. If the sample does turn clear you don't which drop made the difference and is the end point of the test.

It will cost you a lot of liquid chlorine to maintain mustard algae levels of 60% of CYA for any length of time.

The SLAM Process takes days for some and weeks for others.

Depending on your CYA level it is more practical to SLAM at 40% of CYA and then raise FC to 60% of CYA for 24 hours.

The MA level of SLAM is to be held for 24 hours. Read Mustard Algae

You can use 5 ml of water sample. Each drop will be 1 ppm FC. There will be significant error.

I would be doing a sample dilution with distilled or demineralised water. A 50/50 or even 1/2.

Makes sense.
