Good morning guys,
This is our second season after moving here last summer and just wanna make sure we have the next steps straightened out in order to complete the opening of our pool.
Quick background: when we moved in last June, the pool was already open and you fine folks were very helpful in giving us the tools to maintain the pool for the rest of the summer and it was a very successful seasons so big shout out to you all for that!
Prior owner did not ever have a cover so we figured we would follow in his footsteps just to see how that worked out and we ended up with a very swampy mess. You can see the pictures attached.

We started the SLAM 2 weeks ago and have maintained FC between 10-16 for the duration of the SLAM.
Ph was 7.3 at beginning of SLAM
CYA = 30

I know we can’t test the levels during the SLAM, but wanted to know what the next steps are once we pass the OCLT, which we will do tonight.


Fiberglass Pool
21,000 gallon SWP
Pentair InteliFlo pump
Pool Pilot SWG

Many thanks in advance!

Once you pass the OCLT then let the FC decline back to 8-10ppm
Then do a full test - add the type of test kit to your signature. Post the test results here. Be sure to include a CYA and salt test.
I assume the pictures are a pre and post SLAM result. Great work.
