Does the quick/daily chlorine test also show zero?

If it's not turning pink you have no chlorine. What is the stabilizer/CYA level?

thanks - it's hard to tell because it's hard to access but I believe it may be leaking from the bottom of the fernco so a hose and cap may just work

We bought our house ten plus years ago and every year I've been able to get the plug to thread onto the filter drain well enough to not leak despite there not being much left in the way of threads on the filter drain. This year I couldn't get it to catch at all. I put a fernco fitting on the...

I would think that would do it. Expand it so it fits in really tight and hopefully it will come loose. I don't think there is any way you could damage it. You could also try a little saw and cut the duck almost all the way through and I bet it would break apart.

Did you check to see if insurance would cover it?

I'm in Albany so very similar weather and my CYA disappears every winter. Just see what your test shows next spring and go from there. By the way I have a good friend who lives in Livonia!

I fish therefore I am :cool:

Upping your stabilizer a bit isn't a bad idea anyway in Florida.

31 is way above slam level. You need to let it drop below 16

I'm not surprised to see those results. Your earlier post showed - TF-100: TA = 70, CH = 625, CYA = 80, CL = 4.5, PH = 7.2 so your chlorine is 1.5 ppm below minimum for a CYA of 80.

I'm in Albany so can't tell you specifically but most hardware stores here sell it. Ace, True Value etc.

I'm thinking frog's legs for dinner :cool:

You can still have your pool party today. Just dose with liquid chlorine and brush thoroughly to mix up the water and you'll be okay. When my pump went I found a good deal on Craiglist.

Let's go Bills!!! :cool:
