Hello!
My water was looking a little cloudy, so I decided to SLAM it. I'm fairly new to the SLAM process.
Notes:
I'm running my SWG during the day to maintain the chlorine levels.
I have a solar cover that I put on in the evening (around 7pm) and take off in the morning (around 10am).
Below are my results so far:
Day 2:
Day 3:

Below are my results so far:
Day 1:
CYA is 60
Raised FC to 24 in afternoon.
Checked at 7pm, FC was 19, added liquid chlorine to bring it back to 24.
Recorded FC at 8pm: 27
Turned off SWG
Day 2:
Checked FC before sunrise: 19.5
Overnight chlorine loss: 7.5
Water crystal clear.
Brought FC back up to 24 using liquid chlorine
Turned on SWG
Checked at noon - FC was 21 - added 10% liquid chlorine using pool math.
Upped my SWG to maintain - (May have upped it too much )
Checked FC at 9pm: 30
Turned off SWG (and dropped % significantly - from 50 to 25)
Day 3:
Checked FC at 7am: 24
Overnight chlorine loss: 6.0
Water crystal clear.
Turned SWG on.
Questions:
- It looks like I'm still losing around 6ppm of chlorine overnight - is this normal?
- I'm assuming that if FC is at 24 after sunset, it should be 24 before sunrise?
- Should I expect my overnight loss to drop each day?
- Is this number of days to SLAM a pool normal?
- Any chance there could be something on the solar cover that could be contributing to this?
