Well here goes. We'll see if this works.

I suspended 4# of CYA in my skimmer in a cleaner vac bag
(none of my panty hose were ready to be sacrificed).

Added half a gal of bleach (per Michael's bleach calc - what a wonderful thing you've done)

and 18 oz of washing soda to up the pH.

Now here's hoping no more hoses let loose tonight.
