Dead bird in pool

[strategy400]

I fished out a dead bird this morning. Anything I need to do chemical wise? My chlorine level is above the "ideal" range on my test kit already. My SWCG is running at 80% day and night.

Maintain the FC in range for your CYA. You'll be fine.

Oh, and fish the bird out.

I’ve found dead animals in the skimmer baskets before, once a rat and once a baby bird. Chlorine levels were fine and I checked often over a few days just to make sure they stayed that way. Didn’t have any issues. You could always crank up to SLAM level if you want.

I get dead gophers in my pool all the time. I just remove the gopher, there’s no ill effects to my chlorine levels
