I seem to recall that one summer i allowed my FC levels to go to zero while traveling and my CYA went to zero as well. As I open my pool, how long can I let CYA dissolve with no other chlorine in the pool? If I am am confused as to what happened a few years ago and Stablizer doesn’t disappear...

I fear I will have to replace my pumps this year. They are old, single speed Hayward 3HP Super Pump II’s. My pool is ~52k gallons (so in theory I need at least 108gpm) and I have 2” pipes (so in theory I need at most 143gpm). My pool has 1300-1400 feet of PVC (I am estimating based on14...

I changed the de grids on it as well. So I went from one clean but beaten up de filter to two clean filters with new grids. Perplexing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
