    2018 Bleach Prices

    Businesses know that most people will singe at price increases but are too stupid to notice reduction in size or quality of product. That's why we get 121 Oz instead of 128 which is full gallon, or the 6% instead of 8.25%

    Pool eats CYA

    I know you said that you used hose few times to top of the pool by just an inch or so. Does your pool have autofill? If it's new pool, it most likely has one. Check for it and if you find it, shut it off for few days. See if water level goes down without autofill turned on.
