I was going to ask a SLAM question too so will tack it on here.
I have SLAMed in the past but usually mid season and it takes about 4-5 days.
This year, I am SLAMing after opening and I am up to well over a week with a CC of 1.5 still. The water is so clear but I know the criteria. I am well over the SLAM level of FC for my CYA.
My hunch is that I have more leftover organics in the water over the winter still sitting there even though the water is clear enough to read a book sitting on the bottom. I am fully backwashed, brushed and vacuuming.
Is my hunch correct or could I be missing something?
Thanks
