Yeah, I ended up using a plastic one.
I have 31.45% muriatic acid. The poolmath app sez 28 oz, so that's what I added. I waited about an hour, then added the chlorinated liquid. Because of my CYA and FC numbers, it recommended a shock value of 20. The poolmath app translates this into 3.5 gallons. So I just now dumped 3.5 gallons of 10% into the pool. I will be running my pump 24 hours and cleaning my filter as needed. And of course, I'll be skimming leaves and brushing the pool sides, and making sure that my Pool Vac XL remains free of leaf clogs -- or trying to, at least.
The article recommended adding the liquid close to an inlet. Well, my inlet is my Pool Vac XL, which is in constant motion. So what I did was add the liquid at four equally spaced points, two of which were located near water jets. So, I guess my next question is, how long should I wait before I take my first FC test?
