Hello!
Thank you guys so much for all of your responses....
I'm going to admit, I'm feeling a little confused and overwhelmed. I have read both pool school and the the SLAM procedure, and looked at pool math, and basically tried to do everything I can to help myself figure some of this out on my own but I feel like there are some things i'm not quite "getting."
If I can ask (probably) stupid questions:
1. Why do I need to SLAM again? Isn't that what I did when I was getting rid of the green/cloudy water? The pool now looks ideal.... should I be trying to back off of the SLAM? Or is it only so I can conduct the overnight chlorine test?
2. Once the SLAM is done... then what? Do i want the chlorine level to drop or does it have to stay high because of the CYA?
3. Since my CYA is high now.. is that something I have to worry about all summer long? Making sure it doesn't go up any higher?
I promise I am trying to educate myself as much as possible but there are some things I can't seem to get a grip on. In my head our pool was finally good and beautiful and it was time to start lowering the chlorine....
Thanks!

I'll fill in details as soon as I'm home, but you have clear water now?
