Hi all! Love this site and the camaraderie here. I am a new home and pool owner. After clearing the swamp off my pool cover, fixing a stuck pump, and more, I have started the SLAM process. I work from home so have been able to stay on it and use child labor as well, brushing at least once a day, vacuuming daily, cleaning filter daily.
So my question is, I have CC of 0 but still cloudy and will check for oclt test tonight/tomorrow morning. My FC has drifted down to where I need to add chlorine per the slam process, but why? It seems like with 0 cc there's nothing for the chlorine to attack? In my head I can let it drift to normal levels, then maintain with my swg and just keep the filter working optimally to clear up the debris suspended in the water?
I am concerned that maybe some other element of my water is making it cloudy but I can't test for that because fc is still high, so I'm tempted to let it drift down. Thoughts?
