Slamming my pool help please

[MarianParoo]

Please back off on the caps. We are all volunteers and doing the best we can. The caps make it seem like you are yelling.

Unless you plan on changing something, put your current results in both the "now" and "goal" areas. Right now, for you, that would be everything except FC.

You told us your CYA was 30, so use that value. If you are unsure, please retest it. It will make a difference on how much FC you need to add. For a CYA level of 30, your SLAM FC goal is 12. For a CYA level of 50, it would be 20.

Make sure you go to the bottom of the page to the yellow portion labeled Suggested Goal Levels. Choose troublefreepool, vinyl, and bleach. Your suggested levels will appear in each individual row/box. See also: Pool School - Recommended Levels

 

[Jdradford]

Why am I telling at y'all
Please explain.
Sorry
I am just asking a question.
What do I put as my goals.

Thank you

 

[MarianParoo]

Did you see my post, #81? It explains that using capital letters sounds like yelling.

I also explained about what to put for your goals. If you do not understand my reply, please ask specific questions.

Click on the link that says Pool School Recommended levels. It has all the values you need.

 

[MarianParoo]

I still want you to read post #81. Please do not do anything more than adjust FC (and possibly CYA) for now in PoolMath.

I am so sorry I am not yelling it is easier to use all caps for me I will not use them if thst is what they mean.

Again I am dorry if I have offended anyone.

I am taling about after I finish the slam. I know right now the main concern right now is FC and CC.

Please tell me if I am correct I am not sure .

FC-4
PH-7.6
TA ? What mine normally is around 110-120-140 so what should I put as my goal for TA?

CH- Test kit checks this but on this chart it says 0-360 (Dont add)
Does that mean do not test?

CYA-50

Thanks Marian

This is what I wanted thank you so much.

I will try and not ask that question agsin.

Thank you again have a bless night

 

[MarianParoo]

You need to maintain 20ppm FC now that your CYA is stated at 50. Only change your PoolMath FC values from "now" to 20. Leave everything else the same.

 

[Jdradford]

Marian what you sent me about goals was great!

I have read #81, thanks it upset me about the caps cause I was not trying to be rude.

so really you are saying troublefreepool suggested levels I should leave that with what tfp has in there...
I need to just do my now totals unless I am slamming

Thank you so much again

 

[MarianParoo]

Yes. The aim of this forum is for you to learn how to do this on your own. It sounds like you know what to do now. Good luck with your slam!

 

[Jdradford]

I sent a question but cannot find it.

About how much sould your fc be off on a daily basic high 90 to over 100's temps here?

Thanks again

 

[Mr Bruce]

If Wadley is Wadley TX, 4 ppm would be a normal day's loss.

 

[Jdradford]

Mr. Bruce
That would be GA
So would it be about the same?

Thanks

 

[Mr Bruce]

Pretty much. It's summer in the South!

 

[Jdradford]

You got that right "HOT"

Sitting here looking at this clean beatiful pool even tho I am slamming it is calling me to jump in. WOW

 

[Mr Bruce]

Then jump in! It's fine to swim up to SLAM levels. Makes brushing easier too.

 

[Jdradford]

RETEST
2:50

FC-6.5
CC-0.5

IN 2 hours and 20 min I lost 4.5 is that normal?

Thanks
