New Salt Cell, but still not getting any Chlorine

[Newdude]

So turn my SWG back on? And turn it to 100%?

Let the FC drift down back to target range. (Cell off).

Then set the cell to produce your recent daily loss. Start with 4ppm if you don't know it, and dial it down as needed.

4 hours is 1 ppm and you can math that with runtime and % however you wish.

100% for 6 hours = 50% for 12 hours = 25% for 24 hours = 1.5 ppm. Etc etc etc. You'll generally need more runtime/ % with a low output cell.

Do I need to test salt first, and add enough salt accordingly?

Test the salt and report back.

Do I need to test pH and CYA now that SLAM is complete?

The CYA should be the same it was but wouldn't hurt to get another practice test in.

Ph is invalid at 10+ FC, so that has to wait.

I meant to report back yesterday, but nonetheless.

Yesterday Salt was 3200 and CYA was 35.

That's plenty.

CYA was 35.

Round up to 40. Work on getting it to 70. Add 75% and then creep the rest of the way.

How to add large batches of CYA

Hey Folks !!! With a large pool, I need 4lbs of CYA to only raise it 15, and I don't think I have that many socks without holes in them. So I use a Tshirt. Plus, I like that it's doubled up for redundancy. But it can also be scaled down with socks. So I measure out my dose and...

* you recently passed an OCLT, but never raise CYA substantially without one. Each 10 CYA raises your slam FC target by 4 and you'd really rather slam at the lower value.

Do you want to raise CYA once your CL has organically lowered to target 3-5 range? Or do you want to go ahead and add it now... Even if CL is higher than the target (For instance, if CL is 8-9 right now).

Goodness no. The higher CYA has a higher FC also. Add now.



Target is 5 to 10. As in, you want to land comfortably *in* target range at the low FC point of the day.

3 / min is lava. Don't sniff it. Don't think about sniffing it. Stay free and clear at all times. SWG pools swing like LC pools, just likely not as much.
