Hello,

I have a 24'x52" pool with a suacered bottom, Im estimating 15k gallons. I have to empty 2/3rds of the water to do a repair on the wall and have now refilled. I brought a sample to the pool store to check the CYA and as I expected they said there was none. (can you believe they are using test strips, I guess Ill have to spring for a real test kit)

I broadcast 2.5 lbs of CYA into the pool because I have been backwashing frequently since I have a lot of leaves and crud on the bottom (cover fell in), I didnt want to backwash the CYA.
Should I just wait until my bottom is clean and add more to the skimmer? How much more to get to the recommended amount?
My ph is 7.8, the TA is only 50ppm, I picked up 6lbs of baking soda for that, CL diappears quickly, I guess due to no CYA.

Thanks
