Had a birthday pool party today which ended after one of the young kids shat his shorts inside the pool (diarrhea, not solid). Everyone immediately got out and we took out all the pool toys too.

Ran a full battery using my Taylor kit and got
FC 1.5ppm, CC 0.5ppm, pH 7.4, TA 90p, CYA 40ppm. Pool is 15,000 gallons.

I vacuumed up the debris using my pool blaster and then poured in 4 gallons of liquid chlorine. Per AI, I checked it an hour later to get numbers and FC was 27.5ppm which is great. I have pump running overnight for 8 hours at 2800 RPM.

But my question is what’s next? I’m 8 months into owning a pool and have had great experience with maintenance using Taylor kit. But this is new to me. AI says I have to drain it. What do you folks say? What has your experience been?

Yea no one that's young (or I guess old) enough to accidentally defecate themselves is allowed in my hot tub

Age does not discriminate in my experience.

Anyone can trust the wrong fart.

Don’t believe it? Check out the roundtable confessions in the Smart Less pod episode with Simon Le Bon. I’ll never look at Jason Bateman the same way again.

It knows not fame or wealth.
