I'm assuming that this small amount of CYA at a time in the skimmer is pretty minimal risk to damaging anything as long as everything stays running for 24 hours after dissolving is complete? Sound right? Friendly reminder - nothing is safer than the sock method in front of the return jet :)

Just spoke with HTH - HTH stabilizer pods are a new product for 2019. As pool season approaches, it should be more readily available at HTH retailers and available for purchase online.

Oh cool, the HTH stabilizer granules are available on Amazon Smile again: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01JLY4QLY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_C-3sCb07EEM8Y Not the big box price of $16 or so, but oh well. I prefer not to buy the Clorox granules for the privilege of tirelessly brushing them until they...

I didn't know they made those pods! Thanks for sharing! HTH CYA granules always dissolved perfectly for everyone I suggested them to, even in very cold water - but may big box retalers have stopped carrying them and instead offer the inferior dissolving (in our experiences) Clorox brand cya...

Congratulations! Thanks again for your updates and sharing!

Thanks! Have all your chem levels come back down to pre-hurricane dose levels (or lower in this winter weather)?

Those little trees don't pose a threat to the pool, do they? Do the non-main covers attach to the main lanes cover or just float next to them?

Thank you for sharing your data! I enjoyed it and it can help people plan their own heating budgets.

THANK YOU Technigogo! I don't know if you're officially #1 or not (better go buy more stuff to make sure!) but we're very grateful to you and all the rest of us that use smile for TFP! I'm almost to $8! I feel like I purchased the domain name renewal for TFP! It feels great! I've got some...

Would you call it a slime? Or just gunk and stuff? When you get a chance, clean the cartridge really thoroughly then put it back in close it all back up normally, then turn the pump back on, open the air relief/vent valve/air screw to be sure you got all the air out of the system, and then...

Congratulations on getting a recommended test kit! Thanks for posting the test results! Did you perform the CC test? It is performed right after the FC test on the same water. Instructions on the same page: FAS-DPD-Chlorine-Test When the FC is over 10, the PH test is invalid - so we...

What do you all think, email the photos to the manufacturer? Or is that opening a door for a warranty invalidation due to installer failure to install correctly or something?

Woo! Welcome neighbor! Thanks for creating an account and sharing the gratitude! We always love to hear when we've helped! Congratulations on your teamwork and pool success! We're here if you ever need a hand with water or equipment!

All fine suggestions, but I'd actually go a different direction ... Stop filling when you run out of time - don't delay vacation. Skip pump and CYA. Add the calculated equivalent of 4 FC using bleach/chlorine and use brush to stir in a little. This is about a 1 minute and 30 second job...

Congratulations! Eagerly awaiting pictures and your review of their work! I wonder if the general contractor will come and do quality control....
