Question about SLAM

[Rangerman]

Help me understand why the calculator says the target is out of range given the CYA number indicates it?

Yes,

I'm with @Brian PacNW it seems to be complaining that your Slam target of FC is more than the recommended ranges for your CYA.

When I try it on my pool that has a current chlorine level within the recommended range, I also get the warning when hitting the SLAM toggle. Seems it's complaining that the target SLAM level is above your 'normal' recommended 5–9 ppm level. If the SLAM toggle is on, I don't think it should complain about it. I'd ignore the warning.

I would like the calculator show me how much to add to reach SLAM target. The target is correct for my CYA level.

The warning you're seeing serves as an indicator to emphasize that SLAM levels aren't typical day-to-day operational levels for your pool. While performing a SLAM, it is indeed necessary to maintain those higher chlorine levels, but it's not a state we want pools to be in on a continuous basis.

I'm familiar with the SLAM process, but when the toggle is in the SLAM mode it should give me an amount of chlorine to add to achieve the SLAM target.

You accessed that screen by clicking the FC tile on the Home Page, correct? If I do that on my iPhone and scroll down, I do get dosing info. See attached photo. Is yours not showing that?

Yes. Thanks and apologies for the delay getting back to you.
