Yes I have a dang filter. It didn’t feel that gritty but I didn’t touch it too much! Haha I will do it again later..could sand only be deposited same spots though??
What to do if I have done SLAM incorrectly?

Ok I’m almost out of r 0871...I’ve called Leslie store around here and they don’t carry it... I ordered a couple days ago off amazon but it won’t be here until next weekend...what do I do? Give up and save the remaining drops to maintain regular FC? I started off with an almost full bottle of 2 oz r 0871 ?please advise! Thx!!
What has your overnight chlorine loss looked like? I am wondering if you may have a cracked lateral that is letting some sand out. That last picture looked more like sand than algae.
I have ran out of r0871...any tips on what I should do next? Should I turn on swg? My chemicals don’t arrive until the 7th earliest or 11th latest...
I also touched the sand looking thing in hair net but can’t really feel much...if that makes sense...
thx!!

You live nearly next door to TFTestkits. Why is it taking that long to get replacement reagents?
Contact them at TFTestkits.net and I suspect you can have reagents early next week.

Can you share your Poolmath data? Helps us look at the history and provide guidance.
I ordered from amazon last week... but I’ll check the tfttestkits website again. I did go there after I ordered from amazon but I think delivery time was going to be the same, but I’ll check again.

I thought I’m already sharing? Please advise if not correct... I’ll also post a pic of latest log. Please ignore last entry because I hit that by accident and don’t know how to delete. Thanks!!!

The sharing is up now.
Why are you still in SLAM? Is the water clear?
I assume your pool volume is about 10000 gallons. Can you add that to your signature.
You are not adding much bleach at all. If the water is ready, you could turn on your SWCG and run the pump 24 hours a day with the SWCG at 80% and more than make up for the bleach you have been adding.

My water has always been clear...just have the persistent patches of brown sandy things at bottom which I presumed is mustard algae...i have been slamming a week now but those patches are still there so I assume I did not pass the slam test still? I added a lot of bleach so far...about 6 gallons now...but I have more if this needs to go on, just need to see light at the end of tunnel..Can I go ahead and test salt level and add salt then? I had to refill almost half of my pool when I opened...yes I think it’s about 13000-13500 gallon. I’ll update signature again...I thought I had included last year.
also,how long does r0871 last? Shelf life?Wondering if I should order 4 oz since already paying for shipping (plus still have the 2 oz coming from amazon)...is that going to be too much?

The R0871 will last a couple years.
Your test data is not real consistent so hard to tell what you have been following. What filter do you have? Please add that to your signature.
If you have the bleach, stick with that. Add up the amount of bleach you have used over the last three days, divide by 3, and add that each day until you get your testing materials.

Ok I’ve added filter in siggy and ordered the r0871 from test kit..not sure why I didn’t do it when I checked...
Is there any hope of getting this sandy thing cleared or do I just accept it if it doesn’t turn water cloudy?

I haven’t gone in and touched it but here is some of it o think in my hairnet skimmer basket.
And here are the small bubbles from the side of pool...is it related to algae?

Not sure what the bubbles are. Are they coming out of the return?
Try smearing the material you are concerned with on a paper towel.
