    Problem With Pool Clarity

    Hello again We are currently in the process of draining the pool. We have a hose spicket in the pool control room and the water drains gravity feed, so it is taking forever to drain. Our submersible pump just failed so it may take a few days. I will keep you updated.

    Problem With Pool Clarity

    Thank you for the quick response. I knew I partial drain was inevitable but I thought I could get the CYA down to around 150 with a 1/4 drain and then drop it down a little more with the bioactive reducer. 33,000 gallons is a lot of water and it seems like an awful waste to get ride of pretty...
