Thanks! That was my hope.

The rectangle cover is the correct size, just wrong corners. So more cover would be on the concrete than if we didn't have round corners. We have plenty of concrete.

We would like to order a safety cover for our inground pool. It is 14'x28' with center steps. I'm leaning towards the HPI YardGuard Bloc99. However, all our normal, trusted sources don't stock that size in any of the options. I've found a few sources, but the websites don't have many reviews, so...

Yes, the CYA test makes me about cross eyed! It was about to storm here so I did that test in a few different lights. I'll do it again with sunlight when I can. I've been aiming for over 10 FC so that's good. I'll edit my signature later.

Using dilution, I get CYA of 120. I have also done tests to make sure the bleach I'm using acting correctly. It always raises it just as I expect.

I use the Taylor 2006 FAS-DPD. Originally, it was clearly >100. Lately, it is right around 90-100 when the dot disappears. We did vacuum to waste and do back washes, so that has helped it. I will do another test tonight. I will try to test the CYA better too.

Ok, last night it lost 1.5ppm BUT we had a storm come through during the night.

We've just kept the pump running since we replaced it. It mostly runs on low, so we wanted to be sure to keep cycling. I kept the pool shocked until it was clear and only lost 1ppm over night for a few nights. I say 1-2ppm since I haven't gotten to check it first thing in the morning. I'll try...

Thanks! I've wondered about the high loss, but it only lost 1-2 ppm at night the times I checked. We did have an algae problem several weeks ago when the pump broke and I didn't realize we needed the higher FC levels. It has been sparkling and consistent now. We don't get a lot of debris...

We recently bought a house with an in-ground pool, about 13,000 gallons. After some issues. I discovered the CYA is high and I wasn't keeping the FC high enough for it. It is right around 100 now. I only use bleach or liquid chlorine now and keep it around 8-13 per the pool calculator app...
