Thanks for the answers. I did mistype the Hard = 390, NOT 3900. I used the Taylor kit to test so I feel pretty good about my results (aside from typos...) I will do the cya test and find the exact reading. I will take another look at the valves to see if I can switch from the skimmer drain...

New owner of an old pool (previously maintained by a pool service!!): FC = 1 pH=7.2 Alk=110 Hard=3900 CYA = <100 I know I need to drain my IG pool to get the CYA down to acceptable levels, but exactly how do I do that? I can backwash, but it seems to stop draining at the top of the first step...
