Starting with almost empty pool

[hyness]

I've updated my location, I'm in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. I put in my numbers from yesterday and got -0.3 which, if I'm reading it right isn't in the bad zone for plaster.

Looking at my test results, numbers and pics, do you think the algae is gone? I think I have to leave the pump running until 24 hours after the CYA dissolves. So, it's a question of whether to maintain the FC shock level or not.

Seems like you are done with the shock process to me.

I just did a major refill and have low CH like you. Being in AZ with our evaporation, the CH will climb. So, I am just keeping my pH a little higher for now with the low CH to keep the CSI reasonable. This is a deviation from typical forum advice, but if you understand it, then you are fine.

If you have brought your CH into the proper range - you should be good there.
You should leave the pump running till CYA is all dissolved. As for the FC, its clear and you are close enough that I would suggest DONT add anymore FC today. Test tonight before sundown then compare to tomorrow morning. Again, if you lose more than 1ppm overnight, bring it back up to shock.
