I see these two options on Amazon. They appear to be the same thing, but there’s a suspicious price difference for the 2 packs.

Thanks! Can you recommend a specific brand of liquid CYA? Better to buy from Amazon or a local pool store?

When we closed the pool last year the CYA was at 55. However, the pool was drained this spring so my husband could replaster it. We refilled with well water last week with an ecoone filter attached to the hose during refill. Only thing we’ve added, other than some solid CYA, liquid chlorine...

My CYA is currently at zero & Pool Math says I would need to add 18 lbs to reach my target 😳. Last year I was able to get the CYA to dissolve/disperse by using the sock method, putting on gloves & massaging it in front of the outlet. Took forever, but it worked. This year I’m pregnant & the...

Trying to determine if a slam is needed. Complete refill on the pool water (well water with an ecoone filter on the hose) after replastering. Spouse says we should slam, I think no. FC: 1 pH: 7.5 CYA: 0 CC: 0 CH: 175 TA: 200 Definitely need to increase the chlorine & CYA, but is an actual...

Husband just replastered our concrete pool (not a fun task) & we will be filling it using well water in the next week. It looks great. After all his hard work, I’m hoping to avoid issues with discoloration of the pool anytime soon. We have Metal Out on hand if necessary, but would prefer to...

Anyone used Star Brite Fiberglass Restorer to improve the look of the fiberglass sides of a mostly concrete pool? Or any other product that worked well for these purposes? We will already have the pool emptied for acid wash & replastering & want to check this off at the same time.

Getting ready to undertake this project ourselves because replastering would be ~$12,500, if we could find someone to do it. What paint did you use? What about the acid wash?

That was my husband’s preference, but the quote we’ve received was ~$12,500. That company discouraged us from replastering (weird) & said most people would just repaint it. And that was before the pandemic. Husband is typically all about DIY projects, but said DIY replastering is...

Bought our house with an IG pool two years ago. At the time it already had bare patches where the plaster appears to have worn down. No water loss, but the spots definitely take away from the attractiveness of the pool. Never been painted. Planning to drain & paint the pool before winter so...

Thanks! What about where to purchase it from? We bought our M600 robot vacuum from Marina Pools & they were amazing. Do they also sell SWG systems?
