Thanks for responding. No to trichlor. We are all liquid chlorine, added manually. Note that i've removed the automatic chlorinator shown in that photo. I should probably look into replacing with a swcg and an also open to sourcing wisdom on what to consider in that regard.

Thanks for the response. That's essentially what I was wondering. Any suggestions on how to size an alternative cartridge system? 25000 gallon pool, 1.5HP pump. What else do I need to consider?

Hi all. Looking for help replacing vinyl liner in the Seattle area. Called around to a dozen places, nobody wants the job. Any recommendations? Thanks

Update: Numerous emails have been exchanged. Lots of excuses from the owner, who seemed to be offended that someone tested his pool water. Says they are gonna exchange the water on schedule in December. However, I fail to see how the CYA situation magically goes away between now and then...

Thanks for posting the Washington state standards. I've attached the relevant chemical levels with apparent violations highlighted in red. Time to escalate?

It was just about 100. The cya test is a little bit subjective.
