Rain washed mud and tree trimmings into pool

[Mcas]

Massive rain storm washed mud, tree removal trimmings (bark, sawdust, pine needles), and dirt into pool destroying my salt water pool chemistry. I am running my filter on high rpm 24/7, I have cleaned filters twice now, running robot cleaner (polaris Alpha IQ+) for 30 mins at a time as that is when the filter basket is 100% full.

I rebalanced pool this AM after testing as I needed to address FC, TA, Salinity. I am keeping FC high (added 12.5% chlorine) to prevent any algae growth due to the mud/tree trimmings. I am running SWG on 100% boost. Looking to keep FC about 8ppm. Before the pool got destroyed CYA was 80, I have not tested yet but assume its way lower due to the washout.

As can be expected, the pool water is completely brown, saw maybe a 5% increase in visibility over night.

What else should I be doing here to address the pool? Any chemicals I should proactively be adding here outside of normal pool chems?

Thanks

It seems like you are doing everything correctly, maybe a few tweaks:

- Do you have a net where you can try to blindly scoop debris off the bottom. If your robot is filling up after 30 mins there is quite a bit down there and scooping out manually will help speed along the process.
- 8FC is good, but only slightly over your target FC of 6. I would bump it up to 10-15, and you could even take it up to SLAM level which is 31.

That stinks. Be patient. It could take a while.

Thank you for your reply. I do agree I will bump up FC a ton, I have the SWG on 100% but will throw in liquid chlorine to get to a much higher FC sooner. And yes I do have a net and tried it a few times, was unsuccessful but will keep trying, I think I might have to get into the pool to be more effective.

Thank you, hope to have it back within a week!
