Opening!

So the FC is 11 this morning. (It rained all last night)... I don’t think I got an answer for this, am I bumping that back up to Slam level? Or letting it drift down at this point?

You keep it at shock level until all 3 criteria are met (all together)
1 - CC 0.5 or less
2 - Passing Overnight Chlorine Loss Test with difference of 1 or less
3 - Clear water

Okay will do! Thanks guys! I’m excited to have a clear pool this year. Last year towards the end we were constantly battling with it. Now I realize I didn’t slam correctly before. ��

On mg way to the store to grab that DE to add to my sand filter to help get the rest of the floating dead algae faster. How much do I add? And do I just plop it in the skimmer and let it get sucked in? Thanks again!

It's SUPER exciting (and boring) (heehee ) once you are in maintenance mode!

Very small amounts (start with 1/4 cup, until your pressure gauge just moves up by 1 point, I'll try & find the instructions, I think it's in the last part of SLAM Process)
