SLAM and the use of chlorine pucks

[steveb21]

I’ve done it again and didn’t keep up with my maintenance of the pool and it has turned green!

I have implimented the SLAM method previously to great success so I am more than happy to approach in the same way.

I have been using liquid bleach but have run out.... I guess it is OK to use pucks during the SLAM process (I understand that it can have an affect on CYA after a sustained period of time)

PH - was sky high but I reduced down to 7.4
CYA - 30 so shock level of 12

I’m seeing changes in the pool water and it’s heading the the correct direction.

The pictures have been taken during the first 24 hours of SLAM.

Pucks will not raise FC quickly enough to the level you need to be effective in the SLAM Process. In addition you get 1 ppm of CYA for every 2 ppm of CL so your CYA will rise rapidly.

Get LC for the SLAM Process

There my questions answered ... thanks.

Hopefully I will be able to get some more LC in the morning and continue the SLAM.
