    What can I use to suspend the cooper in the water and not cause it to add more stains to the vinyl. I guess they make some sort of liquid for doing this? Seeing that my cooper level is high should I drain some water down and refill? Regards W&C

I was going to get the Jack's magic blue for vinyl liners or the A+ stain remover from in the swim. If I do this I'm not sure what they recommend my levels to be at before adding this...

    Texas, I did the CYA test according to the kit and I got nothing? it's where I have to watch the little black dot in the bottom of the small tube until it disappears, which it never did? FC was 1 x 0.5, the TC was the same reading. Should I try doing these again?

    TA - Total Alkalinity it took 17 drops to turn from green to red x 10 = 160 if you don't count the last drop. So I think this is telling me that the TA is to high? I'm going to retest my FC/CC to be sure it get the same reading and then I'll be checking my PH, CH and CYA. Regards
