I haven't been checking my CYA level and now I'm blowing thru liquid chlorine (lesson learned). Was keeping CYA level at 50 and all was good. What do you recommend to raise the level. CYA test tube is clear filled to the top. CL 1 CH 125 TA 70 ph 7.6 CYA <20 temp 62º

Thanks for all your help Marty!! Your 23 hour drain/fill method worked like a charm! This is a phenomenal site for anyone who has a pool. I'll continue to read and learn. Nice knowing any problems or questions I have can be answered by the experts on this site. Today I became a silver supporter...

Completed partial drain/fill. These are my most recent readings: ph 8.2 FC 8.0 CC 0 TA 110 CH 175 CYA 50 CSI .47 water temp 84º

When CYA target is reached, currently 55 , what is the next step in the process? Just checked FC=2. CC=.5 Water is clear.

We need rain...haven't had much this Monsoon season. Good timing on the fill?

As you advised...1/2 hp submersible deep end, bucket top step shallow end. In / out looks good and we have rain!

Currently in the partial drain/ add process. Is the 200 gallons of water in the spa a concern when complete?

I'll cut back on the spa waterfall and get a pump for the water exchange. No automation....Jandy valves. Thanks for your help Marty!

yes

Calcium ring on pool tile and spa waterfall.

We're in Green Valley. Want to make it to Laughlin ( craps ). Would you recommend a partial drain and fill for now to get that CYA down? Planning on draining and acid wash when the temperature is cooler for that calcium issue. I've got Pool Math and have been reading ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

Purchased our home with a pool ( first timer). Previous owners used a pool service so you know the rest of the story! Calcium ring... pool and spa waterfall. All seemed good until green algae appeared on the walls. Just received the TF-100 and speedstir per your recommendations. Here are my test...
