pool almost full....as expected bad numbers

should i go ahead and add acid today? i can stir it up.
what pH should i shoot for? isn't 7.1 low enough for CO2 to start releasing......?

No. Your pH is already low and muriatic just sits on the bottom without circulation.

up and running!!
pumps been on high 3 days 24/7. polaris fountain on for 3 days also.
Mult acid adds, bleach, working in CYA, jack's purple stuff in, poly 60 in, water's very clear now.

today:
pH 7.6
cl 0
cya 20 maybe
ta 350
ch 250

More acid, bleach tonight, more CYA in a sock in the skimmer (thanks for the tip), continue to run fountain.
much, much better than i thought.

Until your cya begins to dissolve and you begin to get a reading, it is a good idea to test chlorine morning and evening and add bleach both times. You don't want a new fill to turn green! (You may already be dosing twice a day, but I just couldn't tell from your post.)

got to 4ppm CL last night.
this afternoon.......0, oddly enough a bit of CC
CYA is 40 this afternoon, so i am going to quit adding it.
Can i shock tonight? 7-10 ppm to raise levels and decrease CC?

[Watermom]

Yes, quit adding cya. It may still increase past 40, so don't add anymore. You can go ahead and shock.
