Hello all I have been using the TFP method for 3 years and it's been fantastic with my water always being crystal clear, well about 4 days ago I noticed it was not so clear. My numbers from yesterday are belowView attachment 360489. Nothing out of the ordinary has gone on. Not sure how to proceed?
FC 5.5
CYA 40
PH 7.5
TA 100
CH 60
 
You are not saving your test data or chemical adds to Poolmath so difficult to provide guidance. Your current numbers are good. So if the water is cloudy, your FC fell below minimum for a period of time or a large amount of debris or organics got into the pool water.

Best thing to do is to raise your FC to SLAM level.
 
my pool is very clear kept the slam going for 3 days just to be safe, last night the FC was at 16 and 12 hours later it's at 15 I will stop the slam and let the FC return to normal how long should that take. oh and I have been scrubbing the pool every day of the slam and I was testing 3 times a day adding bleach as needed.

Just monitor the FC level each day and start adding chlorine when you get to target range.

Will take a day or two. No rush. You can swim in the pool at FC levels up to SLAM level.

Yes, swim away.

If it were my pool, I would set my target FC at 7 to make sure I steer clear of the minimums.
