Hello All,
Last week I wanted to open our pool and started the SLAM process using Austin’s liquid chlorine. The water went from green to blue in about 2 days but was very cloudy. I let it run for another day and it looked the same the next morning, very cloudy. I then noticed that I had forgotten an important step in the process, CYA. My CYA was at 0, I gave up for a day or two and wanted to start all over and do it right. Went to Walmart and purchased some HTH Stabilizer pods to bring my CYA level up. I also went ahead and purchased Home Depot Liquid Chlorine (3 pack,10%). Yesterday night, I added a little bit of the Austin chlorine I had left since the pool was at 0 FC. This morning I woke up and is starting to get green again. So here I am starting the SLAM process all over again due to not doing it right the first time. Below are my readings from today (few minutes ago) and pictures of how it currently looks. I am looking for any recommendation/feedback before I start the SLAM process. I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
PH=7.2
FC=8.5
CC=2
TA=130
CYA=40-45
