*HELP* First time SLAM / Newbie pool owner SLAM confusion

[saltygunz]

Its fine, we can go either way. pH will rise on its own, now that we got TA up. You have two choices,
1) Start the slam.
2) Let FC come down below 10, then raise pH in .4 increments until you get to 7.4., then start the slam. Either is ok.

'Twer it my pool, and has a vinyl liner, I'd get the pH up...

Ok I want to make sure it's done properly , I will let FC come down under 10, test for pH and gradually increase to 7.4.

After adding 20 mule how long should I wait before retesting the pH?

And how do I determine how much more I need with the r006?

30 minutes, pump running, brush around a bunch. Do it in .4 increments. The r006 just gives me a sense for how low your pH could be. We are on right track, just raise pH in .4 increments...

current readings
pH right around 7.4

Pool started clearing up im starting to see the bottom

I cant thank you all enough! Thank you so much for you assistance!

I believe i am done with my SLAM
This morning passed the OCLT with 0 FC loss over night

I have 0 CC

And the water is clear

Safe to assume im good to go?

Currently letting FC come down to 5 then test TA and pH to ensure those are good

Added photos for comparison beginning and end. Took 6 days.

Nice.

But check your CYA again and make sure the FC level will be ok.

Compare your water to these...Link-->How Clear is TFP Clear?

I would slam another day or two until that water is clear clear. Just for insurance.
