Hi, friends. I'm hoping to learn some tricks of the trade. I have an older gunite pool. It's about 10,000 gallons (about 30 x 15)...kidney shaped. I've started paying a lot more attention to how to maintain the pool... after my cyanuric acid went up to 160 (because I was using tabs like candy... lol). So, lets replace my pool ignorance with a solid plan for yearly maintenance. I live in San Antonio, TX so the sun and heat are a big factor. I keep it covered during the winter to keep the leaves out.

Welcome 
Do you have a test kit?
If not - that’s step 1
(taylor k2006c or tf100/pro) get one ordered & read up on the links above while you wait for it to come.
If so, what kind & what are your most recent results?
How do you plan on chlorinating going forward?
TFP recommends liquid chlorine or a salt water chlorine generator for daily chlorination since other options have their drawbacks/complications as you have seen.
