Pool off after days of heavy rain

[SnapB]

Good evening!

I need some help with my pool. I was out of town for the 4th of July holiday and while I was gone we received a lot of rain.

I have an in gound liner pool with sand filter that is around 7500g

FC-0
CC-0
PH-7.8
TA-100
CH-150
CYA-30
Temp-83F

I know I needed chlorine so I added 3 quarts of the liquid chlorine to the pool to get it up instantly. So what is my next step? Do I need to SLAM to do I need to start with fixing the TA or CYA before SLAMing?

Any help would be awesome!

Is the pool water cloudy? Do a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

It is a little cloudy but definitely not bad. I can’t do an overnight chlorine loss test until this weekend because I get to work at 5am. If I test it tonight will that be ok?

 

[mknauss]

Sure. Or ----
If the pool is cloudy just go right to the SLAM Process. The sooner you hit it the faster it is over.
Lower your pH to 7.2 and add chlorine to get to 12 ppm FC. Best to test and add chlorine 3-4 times per day. Can someone add chlorine during the day?

 

[SnapB]

Yes someone can add chlorine during the day.

I just checked the chlorine and I got a FC-4 and CC-0. Does that sound correct or am I doing something wrong?

Add chlorine to get back to 12 ppm FC. The more often you test and add chlorine, the faster it goes.
