SLAM minimum or maximum FC?

[Kellllllli]

When I'm SLAMming, should I shoot higher than my SLAM target so that it doesn't slip lower than that? Is there a certain amount below that SLAM target that I need to avoid hitting? For example, if my CYA is 40, then my FC minimum is 3, FC target is 5-7, and my SLAM target is 16. But if I dose my chlorine to get to 16, then it will be 13 when I check it later . . . so should I have put enough chlorine in to get it to 19 instead?

No. Just target your SLAM level FC when you test and add chlorine. You are still killing algae at the lower FC, albeit slower.

The SLAM level FC is a level that is safe for equipment and swimmers. No reason to go above it.
