    New Intex Spa Setup Chemicals??

    We just got the 210 gallon small Intex Spa. I'm a little confused on what to do for testing and what I need to put in it. We use bleach for the pool. I tried reading all the stuff and I'm kinda on overload. I was going to pick up some bromine, but decided I would read first. Please advise...

    CYA not Moving

    I have put the recommended stabilizer in twice now to get the CYA to 40 and I'm still only testing at 25. We had to refill due partially to too much CYA. Scared that that will happen again all of a sudden. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions to what I can watch for or what may be going...

    Is draining the ONLY way to lower CYA?

    Refilling 26' Above Ground

    We have 7 bags left and yes it was drained 100% since we moved it and fixed a couple poles in the back. We have a half bucket of pucks too but those are getting donated to someone that wants them on craigslist and won't be put in our pool. Lol about the soap we do that too. Sometimes I find...
