Started SLAM

[Themacdadt]

My slam process. Will keep updating.

7:15 am fc=3 , cc= 4. Added 2 gallons liquid chlorine.
10:00am. Fc = 18PPM
10:30 am. Added 2 gallons liquid chlorine
1:00 pm. fc= 29ppm. (Target slam=28ppm)
4:15 pm. Fc =18PPM ( loss 10 ppm in 3hours15 min.). Added 1 gallon chlorine.

Is this even possible ? To loose 10ppm in 3:15 minutes?

 

[YippeeSkippy]

Which test kit are you using? What's your CYA?? I don't see where you say you lost FC in 3:15 min??

Ohhhh... I see now. Duh. You meant hours. Absolutely you can lose that!! If you have algae and the chlorine is chewing it up..... as you progress you'll find the FC remains longer in the water between doses.

Keep going... you are on the right track. You're using PoolMath to determine how much to use....right?

Very possible. The CC number indicates there is likely some ammonia-type contaminate in the pool that will eat up chlorine quite quickly.

 

[Themacdadt]

Yes, using pool math. Tfp. Test kit,.cya was 60 When I started this morning the pool was pretty clear I’m surprised something is in there eating it up that quick.

 

[YippeeSkippy]

Very possible. The CC number indicates there is likely some ammonia-type contaminate in the pool that will eat up chlorine quite quickly.

If ammonia is there it would seem to be minimal as the chlorine is lasting hours (he typed minutes but he meant hours). Either way we all know the cure for ammonia is..... <dum dum DUM!> <---drumroll....... MORE CHLORINE!

Keep going, grasshopper! You're doing fine!

Update: 6pm. Fc 28. Cc29. How long could the slam take to remove 1.0 of the CC.

 

[Donldson]

CC of 29? Are you sure about that?

 

[Themacdadt]

Yes , 56 drops to turn clear, 5 drops of reagent, then 2 drops to turn back clear.

Opps cc is 1.0. Total chlorine is 29

 

[YippeeSkippy]

2 drops to turn back clear = 1ppm of CC

 

[Themacdadt]

Yes,I corrected my post. How long could it take to remove that cc of 1 ppm?

 

[YippeeSkippy]

It takes as long as it takes...... for some its faster than others. It has a lot to do with the frequency of testing and re-dosing.

Don't forget to brush daily.

Update: 7:30 pm. Fc 26ppm. Cc 1.0 last test of the nite will do over nite loss test.

If the pool isn't entirely clear of algae and water isn't sparkling... I'd not bother doing the OCLT. Why wake up early ? Wait until you suspect you're done, then do it. The OCLT verifies that you're done.

Make sure you use the 5ml sample and one scoop of powder so you save up on reagent. 1 drop is 1ppm

[Flying Tivo]

Keep at it, the more often you test/add the faster it will go.

 

[Themacdadt]

Update::: 6pm. Chlorine 22. Cc 0.

Should I add more chlorine? Or do the oclt?

 

[mknauss]

You just started yesterday. Hold SLAM level FC for a couple days then do a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

 

[Themacdadt]

While running pump 24/7 ? And will any harm come to my equipment at that level?
