    Best way to raise CYA?

    My current level is at or below 30. Should just throw a couple tabs in? FC was at 2.5 yesterday and I added a whole gal of liquid chlorinator and FC is only 2.8 this morning. Temp here was in the mid 40s last night.

    A friend of mine has a second home and has used the puck method for 12 years.

    I ask him and he has never drained his pool at all.

    A friend of mine has a second home and has used the puck method for 12 years.

    The only issue he has ever had is when his chorinator became clogged. - - - Updated - - - I will double check to make sure he never partially drains his pool. - - - Updated - - -
