    Thanks for the advice... I have been confused as to how CYA was at 70 at the end of the year and now with no reading? I have some pucks so I will try that route... I really do not want to get into a large drain situation again.

    Taylor K-2006 test kit arrives this week.

    I bought a new house and have been working on getting pool correct. Following this forums advice I have switched to liquid chlorine and ordered my own test kit. My first experience in the pool store I was told that CYA was off the charts. I have drained the pool half way in the past two weeks...
