HELP. Overdose of chlorine for SLAM

[Geojaneo]

Began SLAM a few minutes ago! Used the calculator to bring to bring FC to 24.

Stupidly did not change percentage from 6% chlorine to 10%.

At 6% I needed 7 gallons and 2 quarts. After adding looked at calculator and caught my error. Should have added 4 gallons 3 quarts!

Barely any algae at opening visible. Drains clear but pool was extremely dirty and vac died. New one installed today and ran for 3 hours b4 removing vac and starting SLAM.

Yikes - brand new liner last season. Do I just test away as normal and write it off to old age or is there anything else I should do.

FC 2
CC .5
Ph 7.5
CYA 60

What is done is done, as a one time event, you will likely be fine. Let it drift back down below 24, then continue SLAM.

What is your current FC after the addition?

Mustard algae slam is 60% of CYA (36 FC for you) and we go there on purpose when needed. *Then* people overshoot that. Lol.

You're fine.

Just added about 15 minutes ago! Also forgot to mention it was last year’s chlorine purchase.

Should I test right now?

Pfffffft. So too much weak chlorine probably puts you dead on.

15 mins with good circulation is ok to test.

I wouldn't waste the reagent. Wait 2 hours and continue SLAM.

Okay then put me in the bad girl’s corner of the pool. But … water temp is only 62 and air temp is 59 so I’ll wait for my punishment until it’s much warmer. . Always appreciate the quick reply!
