Has anyone used a Chlorine Neutralizer?

For the first time this year we are getting a week in the 90s (starting today) my water is already tipping over 80'F (which is perfect for us). It's been a horribly long month so far with constant rain and cool temperatures. So with that everyone is pumped up to jump in. However... I decided yesterday to shock my pool.... I was just going to raise it up to the upper end due to "thinking" some algea might be forming but tossed 2lbs of shock in. I need to take all of the readings tonight but I have a feeling since the FC levels were already at the higher end it's going to be bad. We are supposed to also have a BBQ this weekend, due to my CYA levels being rather high I am not sure how much "burn off" I will get in 2 days either. So my question is has anyone used a neutralizer to pull things down into "safer" swim levels? I know it's a bit more complicated than that but was wondering if it works if you are careful with it (small additions).

Thanks

You can safely swim in a pool as long as the FC is above the minimum and at or below SLAM level based on your CYA. You must also be able to see the bottom of the pool in the deep end of the pool.

Is your FC above SLAM level based on your CYA?

I will do the measurements when I get home, and ya it's crystal clear right now. My CYA is up around 50 currently. =)

Thanks
