I just discovered this wonderful place a couple of days ago and I've got the K-2006 kit in the mail. I had the local pool store test my levels yesterday after my dinky $10 test kit was testing 4 ppm of TC after 3 weeks of not being shocked. This was unusual as before the 2 lbs of chlorine/shock would be gone after a week or the slightest rain.
ANYWAY, I don't have all the numbers on hand, but the one that stuck out (more so after even more reading) was the CYA at 100ppm. I will promptly be pulling the chlorine tab floater (it was the previous owners please don't stone me) when I get home, and was wondering if rain alone would be enough to bring that back down. We get enough rain here in Florida to require me draining the pool a few inches (~2-3k gallons?) every couple of weeks.
Am in too deep to not be draining the pool, or can I recover? And when we're discussing bleach on this forum, are we talking about the jugs one would find on the laundry isle in the grocery store?
Thanks!
