I think you have me confused with somebody else. Lol I've never popped the top on that thing. Should I?
I'll admit, taking this thing apart has me more than a little nervous.
Maybe a project for this weekend?

I thought you looked inside the sand filter... maybe I'm mistaken...
If not then the deep cleaning might be in order in the future.
It's not difficult

So don't do it right this moment, but maybe at a later date?

The cloudiness of the water is still an issue, but as CJ says, probably a patience issue.

I would personally hold off on the deep clean right now. ITs time consuming and you're right in the middle of the slam. Don't want to lose any momentum you have built up. You are right on the edge of clean and clear.
Did you ever see if you had a moveable eyeball?

Check your CYA again today...hopefully you are above 30 and you can ramp up the chlorine a bit more
I agree to hold off on deep cleaning for now. Start though reading up on the article as my gut says you'll greatly benefit from it in the near future. Your chemistry is slowly starting to "come around" and is starting to look good. When doing the chlorine test, are you measuring any CC's??????
No moveable eyeball on the return, but if you think it would be beneficial I'd totally buy one.
I do not check CCs. Do you think I should? I'd be happy to if you think it's worth it at this point.
I'll run home for lunch and do a quick CYA test. Hopefully I can catch some sun.

Ok...so...

30 CYA
So...what does that tell me?

Oh! A Cc of zero is good! I think?

Well then that is great!!
First step in passing the oclt. Have you read thru that process yet?

Yes sir. It's a test to see if there's gunk in the pool still eating up chlorine.
Should I continue to slam as of now? Should I get my stabilizer up to 40?

Yes. Keep slamming until all 3 criteria are met.. I think your clarity might be the hanger in this situation...
Straight from the slam instructions-
Depending on what kind of filter you have, it can take the filter a week or more to completely clear up the water, even after all of the algae is dead. DE filters are usually much faster than that, but require frequent attention when cleaning up algae. Sand filters are the slowest, and cartridge filters are somewhere in-between.
As for stabilizer, you could add enuf to get to 40 right now and pump up the target fc to 16. If you are really at the 30 line on the tube, I would check pool math and add what it tells you to get to 37ish. Thatll give you a little wiggle room but keep you in the perfect range. With your CYA test, there really is no "in between the lines" value.. So if your dot disappears between 30 and 40, then you target 40 for all intents and purposes.

Ok then, 9.7 ounces of stabilizer is in and now adding 69 ounces of bleach. If all is correct, that should get me to 37CYA and 16FC.

The leaf catcher? Hardly anything. Was going to vacuume this weekend.

Ok.. just don't want anything taking away from the chlorine but its sounds like you have a plan.
With the CC at 0 it sounds like all the algae is taken care of, now its just the waiting game to get the water cleared up..
So.. if you want to get some practice in, you can do an OCLT tonight just to see where you stand. You may actually pass the FC drop but its that clarity that's going to be the painful part
