    CYA consumed immediately?

    Keeping my solar blanket on for extended periods of time seems to consume my CYA. I've kept my solar blanket on the pool for the last two winters, and each time my CYA has gone from 70 to 0. I have no idea what causes this, but I know that I don't have a leak since I'm not having to add any...

    Can I cap this pipe?

    Thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and put some duct tap over the hole for now, which has completely stopped the bubbles. I like the idea of the valve, so I'll definitely implement that here shortly. Good to know about the pH running higher on SWCG pools, I'll narrow my target range and...

    Narrowed it down to a Dolphin but not sure which, Nautilus CC+, S200, or Proteus DX4?

    Thanks for the heads up! I just called Marina and ordered my S200. I've been toying with the idea for awhile, but couldn't justify it while my knockoff suction side cleaner was doing a decent job. Low and behold, this morning I find pieces of it scattered across the bottom of the pool...
