    CYA A Double Edge Sword Rant and Rave!

    Look, obviously nobody on this site has see my pool, and I understand that. All the suggestions are really well received and thought out in my mind as possibilities. So it really is appreciated. I have a 1-1/2 hp pump circulating my water extremely well. I do not treat the water when the pump is...

    CYA A Double Edge Sword Rant and Rave!

    PH is fine and always has been (7.4). I was using tri-chlor since the beginning last year. I have dicontinued the use of it indefinitely. It's not the PH. I think were getting away from the original concern, which is basically the education of CYA. Understanding it's part in maintaining a good...

    CYA A Double Edge Sword Rant and Rave!

    The water line is not visible at this point because I refilled the pool. It is really only noticeable when I drain it for winterizing or for the obvious reason of removing the CYA. I do not mean to be so aggressive, but when the debate begins with CYA levels are not high at 100ppm, then why is...

    This person may be exactly right as to what has damaged the liner. It makes perfect sense. I'm howver not going to debate about the CYA levels of 100ppm not being an issue. I can understand what you guys are talking about the liner bleaching. Trying to prevent the blooms by shocking most...

    CYA A Double Edge Sword Rant and Rave!

    I have come to the conclusion besides me, there are quite a few people that just do not understand how important of a component CYA is to the chemistry of a pool. It has literally frustrated me this season because of my own ignorance. Anyone who does not understand the role this plays in your...

    Am I the only that is dealing with the CYA being too high?

    Re: Am I the only that is dealing with the CYA being too hig OK, I get it. At this point I will discontinue the use and unplumb the feeder from the system. I put unions prior and after so no big deal. I'm just going to work on bringing down the CYA level and switch to bleach as previously...

    Chemically Remove CYA

    Currently, I am having a serious issue with too much CYA and am trying to reduce it by draining the water. I won't Hy-jack the thread with my problem, but will say that I did in fact get Scotts weed & Feed into my pool by accident about a month ago and had it cloud up on me. After reading...

    Am I the only that is dealing with the CYA being too high?

    Recently, I have been dealing with an abundant amount of algae growth in my fresh water pool. I maintain a chlorine level of 5.5ppm possibly higher. I have also noticed that the CYA levels have peaked to 100ppm no thanks to the 3" tri-chlor pucks that I have been using. So, I have been doing...

    Taylor CYA test

    I have just purchased the Leslie pool version of the 2006 and I believe it to be the same. I test mine in the ambient light. I'm at 70ppm. I too have noticed that my cya is climbing. I believe it is the 3" pucks and I am thinking about switching to the bbb method. I have not been completely...

    Audio options?

    This is what I designed and built for my back yard. I was looking for lights and audio and just could not find the right set up that appeased me so I built my own post that serve 2 purposes. I started out with a 7.1 JVC 130watt Receiver (second hand paid $110.00) that I keep in an cabinet...
