Getting everything balanced. Looks like I will need to add CYA. Test results as follows:
FC - 3
pH - 7.6
TA - 60
CYA - 20
Pool is in direct sunlight all day. Typically, I have been adding about 1/2 jug of bleach per day. After the winter, this CYA level is the lowest I have ever seen it and it seems adding CYA (especially given the direct sunlight) is needed. Still a relatively new pool owner and not having done this before, I turn to my friends at TFP for advice. What product is recommended to increase CYA, what would you recommend for the level (I saw pool school indicates 30-50 for a vinyl pool with bleach) and how should I add it? Any thoughts on where to purchase are appreciated also. I've read about the sock in front of a return or in a basket. Not to be ignorant, but what is the "sock"?
Thanks for your help!
