No, wait at least one week for CYA that is trapped in filter media to totally dissolve prior to adding more. Don't want to overshoot and have too much CYA. Good luck.

Hi, Sisie5,

AS Cary said, wait a little longer on CYA. I'd put in enough Cl to bring the TC up to 12-15. That'll shock the pool and get that .5 CC out of there. Then let your TC come down on it's own to about 3-5 and keep it there. Yuu've made great progress.

I'd add enough muriatic acid to bring pH down to about 7.2 - 7.6. It's okay now but you don't want it any higher. How does your water look?

Cary,my water looks very clear.when I added the cya I put it in a nylon hose and hung it by the skimmer,it took two days to deslove.how much cl do I add?

Thanks

Oops my mistake I meant FC -1.5

Can't tell you how much chlorine to add without knowing how many gallons your pool holds.....
