Unfortunately we had a house fire with significant damage last night. My family is safe, but it will most likely be several months before we’ll be able to get back in our house. The gas/electric meters were pulled as a precaution. They’re hoping to get some electricity back early next week, but be then I’m guessing my pool will be in rough shape due to the lack of circulation and chlorine (I have a SWG). Should I add liquid chlorine to SLAM levels or just keep things at the higher end of the normal range? If I do add chlorine what’s the best way for me to circulate things (no electricity). Temps were in the upper 80’s today with no chlorine added, but the pool was covered. Have not tested the water yet. Thanks!
 
Wow - sorry for your loss! You can add liquid chlorine and use a brush, net, oar, whatever to move the water around. Try to keep the FC well above target range for your CYA.
