yes, 100% water change. that explains no CYA.

awesome, thanks for all the help. Just tested the water and these are my results. Just added 96 oz of 12.5 liquid chlorine, going to add some muriatic acid in a bit to lower pH. What should i do about the CYA? FC 0.5 CC 1.5 pH 8.4 TA 70 CH 100 CYA 10 (best guess as it went beyond the 20 mark...

pool is completely full. Do i just start running the pump, or is there anything i need to do such as priming the pump?

just checked the temp about 6 inches from the top and it's 69.6 this cool morning. I started filling it up Saturday afternoon and it was about 90 here yesterday. should i put some liquid chlorine now? If so, how much? I think it should be completely full in about 4 hours.

yup, already looked up a submersible pump to rent at home depot. I've just had the pool for 1.5 years, hoping rising CH and CYA won't be a constant issue.

Yes I did. I messaged a company out here that does that and they responded with an automated message saying it would be minimum $1300. My pool is about 99 LF so that price is ridiculous.

My CYA and CH are insanely high so I'll be doing a draining and re-filling of my pool. I'm going to take advantage and scrub all the waterline tile as there is a lot of scaling. I bought De-scale it and a pumice stone and then finish it off with a good power wash. Going to take apart the DE...

Thanks! yeah this weather has been crazy but i love the rain. good soup or chili tonight!

We have decided to build a pool/spa and covered patio at our house in NE Austin. We are currently talking with Denali Pools, Texas Pools & Patios, KB Custom Pools, and California Pools. I called Athena earlier today and waiting to hear back. Are there any other PB companies you would recommend...
