So frustrated. I signed out to verify my credentials and doesn't recognize apparently clicked on forgot pw and it brought me back to trouble-free pool. I have no idea what the deal is with this, I can't remember exactly how I signed up to pull school but I'm almost positive it was the same email as this. I did have a username wish I think you can see here. So, Crud, I don't know what to do because if I create a new account it won't have any of my past logs. But I don't think I should have to I'm just not understanding where it's taking me as far as when I click forgot password

email [email protected] and they will straighten you out.

You need to start the SLAM process to clear your pool. The CC of 2 is your major concern. Link-->SLAM Process

All right I'm starting slam today I had to wait on some supplies. I want to clarify some things with you.
Before you start section says to test FC level to determine the current cya level. My cya is 20. According to before you start I should add enough cya to reach 30 ( and that is before I actually start the slam process)

Then I move on to actually performing slam so I look at the chart for FC as well as cya. In my case it says FC should get to 10 for slam and cya should also get to 10 for slam
My interpretation of what I should do in order is the following:
1. Raise FC to 10 (according to chart add 100 oz)
- do i add 100 oz after every test where FC is not at 10 (testing minimum 3x day)
2. Wait until fc is at slam b4 I test CYA and then add CYA to achieve slam.

Is this correct?

Put enough CYA to raise CYA 10, in a sock, tie it off and hang it from a pole about 6" out from the side of the pool in front of a return. Once the sock hits the water, consider your CYA 30 and start slam

Raise FC to 12 (your CYA is 30 now)

Test FC, add enough to get back to FC 12. More often the better, but not more often than every 2 hours.

Wait 24 hours to test CYA. If not at 30, add another 10.

What is the new target for cya and FC?

For the SLAM Process, you want a minimum CYA of 30. It looks like you had some, so it's odd it shows zero now. To be cautious try adding 20 ppm worth of stabilizer. Use the sock pre-socking method. If you have any questions about that let us know.

At the same time, add liquid chlorine to do your best to maintain an FC level of "12" until you pass all 3 SLAM criteria.
