Re: Bought a Pool and it came with a houses.
Sounds like a plan. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this water refill will get that CYA right where you want, and need it to be. Hopefully you can get the pH straightened out prior to restart. Remember, the pH reading will not be accurate with a FC greater than 10ppm. I'm not sure how far the refill water add will drop the FC levels for you? I'm hoping it drops the FC level at 10ppm or less, so you don't have to wait to adjust that pH, but only time will tell on that.
With the water being clear hopefully the rest of the SLAM will be quick, and easy, and you'll quickly pass OCLT since this is kind of your 2nd phase of SLAM. You've certainly earned a pool party after everything you've been through, so hopefully everything will pan out so the party can happen. The biggest issue will be you not being able to accurately check your pH again with an FC greater than 10ppm, (so getting it set before is almost crucial for a this weekend pool party, but it is safe to swim with the FC levels up to slam/shock levels (no higher) for your current CYA, so raising them to that level, after the pH adjust won't hinder the party plans.
Anyway, Good luck, and keep us posted. We'll help you try to make the party happen, if at all safely possible, from our end. You're doing an awesome job. Have a wonderful night.
The last time I adjusted my eye, I put a screwdriver in the eye itself, and pressed it gently to get it to move where I wanted it to be because mine was stuck and my hands just weren't strong enough to manually turn it. (Use the Force JET EYE LOL).
