Treating A Deluge of Overnight Rain

[RSLR]

First: Happy 4th of July .... I hope you're all able to enjoy your pools today!

Second: We had a torrential downpour last night with 5+ inches of water. Pool level raised over both skimmers.

I drained (to waste) the water first thing this AM and then backwashed/rinsed/filtered. I also vacuumed but I'm still left with a gray-ish pool - likely from all of the runoff (there's a slight rise in elevation behind our pool that runs water down across our patio / into our pool on rare occasions like this). It's not green, it's not muddy ... just grayish/tan.


My Question: Beyond letting the pump do it's thing and the filter do it's thing, is there anything else I can/should be doing to remedy the situation quicker?


I've bumped up my pump speed to turn the pool quicker. My numbers are all (relatively) good.

Reference Numbers:

FC: 3.3
CC: .3
pH: 7.9
TA: 106
CYA: 44



Thanks much for your time!

Those look like pool store test results. How are you testing your water?

K-2006 ....

Photo of the kit .... because I guess it's relevant?

Thoughts on how to address the challenge?

(Is there anything else you'd like me to test?)

It is not possible to get those results from that test kit.

How are you testing your FC and TA? Describe it to me, or retest them with these instructions.
