I started the SLAM process with zero free chlorine and brought the PH to 7.2. Using poolmath I put in the recommended number of gallons of chlorine. When I checked it the next morning using the Taylor test with 0871, I thought the level was 48, but it was actually 24, the target level. I had forgotten to multiply the results by .5.
Since that time, two days ago, I've continued to misread the results, and therefore have been unknowingly keeping the levels at 12, vs where it should have been--24.
However, the free chlorine level overnight last night was unchanged. Today, the CC is .5 or less, and the pool appears to be clear, although it's cloudy out.
The question is, am I done? Did I get lucky and achieve the desired result even thought I didn't keep the level up at 24? And if not, is there something else I should do to be sure?
