Great!!! Thank you so much!!

thanks, Jason. What about the CYA? The pool is approx 30000 gallons, vinyl, inground, in full sun all day at least 13 hours as we have no trees. Should I remove the socks or leave them until the CYA is around 60 (I believe I read that 60 was the recommendation for my scenario somewhere in...

Okay, after going round and round with my dear husband and mother-in-law (we share the pool since the pool was built half on her property and half on ours--long story), here's the scoop: Pool is still cloudy. Last night DH and MIL decided the sand needed to be changed in the filter...

Basically, I purchased the flocculent to appease my dear husband. :roll: After reading everything I could find on here over the weekend, I have been shocking and backwashing since Sunday. I have lost count of the number of bottles of bleach I have purchased the past few days. Getting the CYA...

Went to the local store to have water tested this evening, and the guy couldn't believe it when I told him on Saturday we had a green swamp. Our readings were in "their" normal range except for CYA. He told me we must know what we are doing!! :) We do thanks to all of you!! :wave: Our only...
