    Yes, slowly.

    Basically, simply use it to chlorinate, till your CYA is at your target level.

    You'll find that initially (while CYA is low) you'll lose chlorine quickly. But as the CYA increases, chlorine levels will be more persistent.

    Added today's numbers. Didn't measure CYA as I understand below 30 no way to measure with my tools, my best guess based on FC level is around 9 as my FC went from 8 to 18 ppm (Had overcast and no sun).

    Will add another 72oz of dichlor. Water still light green. Can see bottom. Not filtering just circulating and aerating.

    Until your CYA is higher, add your large doses late in the day, so they can work all night before being hit by sun.
