Without that particular test, you risk wasting your time and potentially having to start all over later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SLAMing a pool is the most successful when CYA is about 30 to 40. Below 30, you lose chlorine.<\/strong> As CYA goes up, SLAMing needs more chlorine, which begins to get impractical around 80 or 90. With CYA over 90, we recommend replacing water before starting the SLAM process to get CYA down.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the filter you have, it may take the filter a week or more to clear the water up, even after the algae are all dead. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=de+filters&amp;oq=DE+filters&amp;aqs=chrome.0.0l8.821j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\">DE filters<\/a> are generally much faster than that but need regular care when removing algae. Sand filters are the most deliberate, and cartridge filters are somewhere in-between.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While SLAMing, the look of the water should improve each day, though maybe only by a little. If you didn&#8217;t find any improvement, you may have an issue with your filter or have a higher CYA level than you believe, think flow, or have any other issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The objective of SLAMing would be to add chlorine to oxidize all the combined chlorine, algae, bacteria, viruses, ammonia, and other contaminates.<\/strong> Oxidization splits down the organic particles into smaller parts, which are safe. While SLAMing, you want to keep pouring chlorine until the breakdown procedure is finished.<\/p>\n<p>Greater FC levels will oxidize pollutants more quickly, but too high levels can damage the pool or pool equipment. Shock levels are intended to break down contaminates reasonably while posing minimal risk. It&#8217;s not likely to know in advance how much chlorine will be needed to SLAM the Pool. Alternatively, chlorine is added to keep the shock level until testing indicates that the procedure is complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have a chlorine tablet dispenser, saltwater chlorine generator, Liquidator, or injection pump, you will still have to use another chlorine means for SLAMing.<\/strong> All of these devices are intended to add chlorine gradually and regularly over many hours. To lower CC or kill algae, you need to put in lots of chlorine all at once.<\/p>\n<p>The best solution for this is only to shut off the SWG, injection pump, Liquidator, etc. and use liquid chlorine just for the length of the SLAM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have a sand filter, it is possible to speed the process of clearing up the water by including a little DE to your filter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a pool owner, you might have experienced this.
