8 hours in and things are progressing nicely. I have a hose syphoning to the ravine and another pumpin water. With 2fill hoses, I figure that water is still going in faster than it's coming out, but the difference in rates should be pretty small and easy to correct. At about the 1/3 mark, i added 1# of pre-dissolved dichlor. i plan on another at about 2/3, and another at the end. Then I'll test the water completely tomorrow night and adjust everything as needed. With high alkilinity fill water, I'm aerating as I go by letting the hoses splash into the pool... Hopefully this will bring the PH up within acceptable range for restarting the pump/filter. Again, let me know if there is anything else I can be doing.
