ok here are the facts:
we closed on 10/27 i tested on 11/11 so 2 weeks.
my FC was 18 today it was 11. down 7 in 2 weeks. not cool.
my ph was 7.4 today it was 9.1 on my digital meter. drops were off the chart so it was deff above 8.2.
well i dropped 102 oz of chlorine. got it back to 17.5. don't know what my gallon size is now cause of the water level being low, but after 2 hours of mixing with a sump pump on the floor of deep and and a hose swishing around underwater hooked up to it that's what i got.
i measured in the deep end and the low end. they matched.
so i should be good right? meaning no chlorine should be sitting on the floor that can cause damage or sitting up against the walls. it was liquid. pure in over the pump. i brushed in deep end and low end to move the water more also. i had some good waves going.
i'm doing acid now. this the one that has me worried cause i have heard mixed things about it, but it was 9 people! i had to do something. i poured it in over pump. did the brush thing again. will let it mix for next 2 hours. and measure.
what do you guys think. comments? concerns? no way the acid ca mark the plaster floor where i poured right? or get ring around the pool plaster if i readings show it dropped down to about 7.4 wish i'm thinking by guessing. i put in 54 ounces.

edit. app is working again. had to install it again after deleting it.
my numbers for chemicals in weren't too off. i'll be safe. so my csi was over .87 but don't know exactly what cause at ph of 9.0 it's .87 but as soon as i put in a number greater than 9 the app gets wonky and i suddenly get a -1.0 now so something isn't right there? should be positive 1.0 i'm assuming? right.
anyway once i knock it down i'll be in range again. with a water temp of 50 my happy place is 7.5-8.7 to be in the .6 window. no way i'm going to be able to stay in the .3 window this winter.
again comments concerns.
