What do you guys do to eliminate it in the water?

If we had any type of diarrhea accident, we clear the pool and then have to maintain an elevated level of chlorine (maybe 20ppm?) for a specified amount of time. I'd have to look up the exact procedure...not one I recall off the top of my head because thankfully I've never dealt with it...and hopefully never do.
