    The pool PVC pipe union came off, I don't know how and when the motor started, the pool water was drained by 1/4th, now I am refilling it, once it's done, what do I need to do? Do I need to add any stabilizer? or anything else? The chlorine tabs are already there... Please help.... Thanks a lot.

    Messed up situation

    I have a 11k gallon plaster pool, It was drained and acid washed 2 years back, I went for water testing and the CH level is really high 1000... The pool store recommended to drain the pool again. BUT The problem is the weather is already hot in Phoenix 80-90 degree, What shall I do ?
