I also joined this website last year because of an off the charts CYA level( as well as other problems). Dumping endless amounts of chlorine with no apparent effect on the green color. I gave up and completely drained the pool last November. I have learned a lot since then and I am ready to fill...

Thank you for all the advice. I do not have a high water table and winter down here is the dry season. My pool is separate from my house and is completely screened. So the "big pit" is not a danger. I am just over the dumping of endless amounts chlorine and still not being able to get anywhere...

What I want to do is drain the entire pool so there is no water at all left in it. Then sometime between now and next summer clean it. I have a neighbor who has an inground pool and his pool stayed empty for years. He sold it and the people that bought it filled it back up and have been using it...

Do you have "real" PebbleTec or a knock off? Is it PebbleTec (if you do) or PebbleSheen or PebbleFina? If it is Tec, it will be fine uncovered, as it is strong enough to handle exposure without water (unless you have some huge temperature swings). It is used on "rolled bond beams" in Arizona all...

After reading many days on this site, getting my own test kit, listening to your advice and learning what all of these chemical mean, I am going to drain the pool for the winter and try again next year. Even though I live in Florida I do not have a pool heater so my temp is around 68 degrees...

Current test results: FC=14 CC=2 PH=7.2 TA=200 CH=500 CYA=140(My test tube only goes to 100 so I am guessing) Water is still cloudy. The calculator is telling me to replace 71% of the water. I tried about 50% already and it had no effect on my CH and CYA numbers. They are still high.

I am the original owner and have been maintaining it myself. I think I have shortened the life span of my pool surface depending on the clarity of the water over the years as a test rather than the right chemical levels. Finally caught up with me. Recently tried replacing 1/2 of the pool water...

I have a blue Pebble Tec pool about 8 years old in Florida. I recently bought a Great White auto pool cleaner and ran it for about 12 hours. I set the vacuum flow to directions. when I looked at the pressure reading it was at 35. Started at 8. Pulled the filter and it was coated with blue...
