Last night, we had a pretty bad wind event resulting in lots of leaves, twigs, dirt, etc. in the pool this morning. We've got it cleaned out and the robot vacuum is running for the second time today.
We also lost power for 5-6 hours, and then I had the pump off until I got the big junk out of the pool, so no SWG for about 17 hours total. Tf-100 test results are as follows:

FC - 3.5
pH - 7.8
TA - 90
CH - 300
CYA - 70
Salt - 3000 (vs OmniLogic 2900)

I'm in the process of adding stabilizer to bring my CYA back up to 80, and I'll add some acid per Pool Math. Seems like I should add some liquid chlorine to bring my FC up faster than the SWG would do it (and I'd be kind of guessing what SWG% to set it at). Does that sound like a good idea? Any other suggestions???
 
Liquid chlorine now. Add 4 or 5 ppm worth. Get things under control quick. CYA and pH are not a big deal right now.
