We were out in south austin for about 2 weeks. Then it went under restriction for a bit, one bottle per cust. Then our local leslies started stocking it, when they weren't before. I was in our local home depot a week ago, and there was only one bottle of HDX on the shelf, but now Leslies has...

If you want a reference to your original question, In Austin TX, it took me 2 years to get my CYA down from off the charts. One empty half way and refill got me back on the scale. You have to rent a pump to do this. You can not empty a pool using your circulation system, in most cases. The...

I am opening my pool, and in a slam phase. plaster 19200gal, chlorine. I started buy adding a gal of liquid chlorine and running the filter and polaris to get the green out. I let the chlorine go to FC 1ppm and showing CC 1. I balanced the ph to 7.4 and started the slam. At this point my CYA...
