I'll post the initial numbers before I go into the question: FC 8 CC 0 PH 7.4 CH 425 TA 175 CYA 90 Since I got the CYA down from 500 everything had been good with the water. I have kept FC between 6-8 (I know, maybe a little low but wanted to be able to test PH). I normally keep the PH between...

Tomorrow I will be swapping out some water. We are on a well so because of metals in the water I will be having at least two 4,000 trucks brought in. Obviously we have a fiberglass pool and the installer and manufacturer stated not to drain water past the skimmer. That gets me down to about 10"...
