I bought 4 lbs. of 96% CYA at Wal Mart for about $13. I disolved it in a nylon knee high in the skimmer. It took a while to disolve however, the CYA level results were accurate based on the amount of CYA I added.

Everyone, I appreciate your responses however, I am also aware that in the not so distant past it was considered by many pool pros taboo to add chlorine or for that matter anything at all (other than DE) to the pool via the skimmer for similar reasons as listed in the post by ktdave [/b]"It...

I recently found 2 jugs in my storage area that I had placed there and forgotten 2 or 3 years ago. I simply opened them carefully as to not allow any built up fumes to hit me in the face and then proceeded to pour a few drops of each jug on an out of the way piece of concrete walk. The instant...
