Ok, got it, thanks. The pump is going to run 24-7 for the first 3 days.Did you read the article?
Solid granular stabilizer is best added by placing it in a sock or nylon and hanging that sock in front of fast moving return(s). Shaking and squeezing the sock while in the pool water will help the stabilizer dissolve faster.
Alternatively, the sock can be placed into the skimmer basket BUT it should only be left in there if the pump is continuously running and not turned on and off by a timer. CYA is acidic when it dissolves into water and so it is not a good idea to leave the sock in the skimmer without the pump running.
Absolutely. Without the softened water, you need to drain the pool about every 16 months. Many pool services here in BHC area drain the pools they manage twice a year, April and September, one because of CYA build up, and secondly due to CH rise.is that a good idea?
I read further on the CYA, I did not know that it degrades, thought it just kept adding up while using the Trichlor tabs. How often should I test the CYA level?Ok, got it, thanks. The pump is going to run 24-7 for the first 3 days.
