All you need to worry about for now is to get some chlorine in the water - target 3 on poolmath since you have zero CYA. While that's mixing, weigh out enough stabilizer into a sock to get to 40ish and get that started dissolving. At that point, you can let the kids in the chilly water.

The pH will climb fast with that high TA, so tomorrow you'll probably need to add acid. You won't need to check CYA for a week, because it takes a while to dissolve completely and register on the test.
