    TA at zero?

    I do not want to do that again. I have a vinyl liner which means I have to do the tarp method. id rather spend more in chemicals than drain the pool.

    I haven't testing since the end of last year and I'm looking for, but can't find the spreadsheet I used to track last year's results. I definitely don't want to raise my CYA as I fought that battle 2 years ago. Need to research the effect of increasing Calcium.

    Thank you! Is there a form of granular chlorine that won't raise my CYA? Unless I'm mistaken no one will ship liquid chlorine. Right?

    Hello TroubleFreePool, Hope you and all your families are doing well!! I live in NNJ and like much of the nation, I try to not go out unless I absolutely have to. That said I'm looking to open my pool and in the past I've mostly used liquid chlorine which is going to be a problem this year...
