That's what I am doing as I type. The pool store guy said, "who did this?" and I raised my hand. I guess he figured a competing store did it.
He said my CYA was off the charts. It was starting to clear a bit more, but at 63ppm I guess it had no choice.

I have drained below the skimmer already. Can I lay my solar cover on top of the exiting water and start filling from above? Will this keep the two from mixing much? I don't really want to take it too low without water on the walls.
