I'm surprised it's that high given how many times I've vacuumed to waste and added water. I'm using trichlor tablets in an inline feeder right now. After I get the CYA back to the appropriate level and SLAM, do you think I should switch to using liquid chlorine only instead? Everything else...

I ordered the K-2006 kit and just got it today. Free Chlorine: 12.5 ppm Combined Chlorine: 0.5 ppm pH: 7.3 Total Alkalinity: 110 ppm Calcium Hardness: 110 ppm CYA: 80 ppm I assume the CYA is too high? The calcium hardness also seems low according to the TFP calculator. I already dumped quite a...

I thought it was slightly too high if anything. What do you recommend? Trying not to burn through too much because of shortage.

Everything is via AquaChek 7 test strips (not expired) except for total chlorine and combined chlorine which was Taylor FAS-DPD kit.

Total Hardness: 150 ppm Total Chlorine: 5 ppm Free Chlorine: 3 ppm Combined Chlorine: 0.5 pH: 7.2 Total Alkalinity: 100 ppm CYA: 50 ppm For once my water is actually balanced, but my pool bottom still turns green within a day. I’ll vacuum to waste and it will look good, then 24-48 hours later...

Here's a diagram I made of how it's currently set up. Is this correct? It was done years ago by an local experienced installer. If you had sand under the bottom rail, wouldn't it wash out? Are some people's bottom rails taller? Mine's just like a 1" tall plastic U-channel.

I purchased a foam pool cove kit for my 24' round that is undergoing repairs. Upon researching proper installation methods, I noticed the instructions and guidelines on various websites differ. The foam sections have a notch in them as if they are meant to be up against the bottom rail as shown...

I'm in the middle of preparing to replace the liner in my 14 year old 24'x54" Artesian pool. After removal I discovered some rust on the interior walls, as well as some underneath the sand cove at the bottom. The rust on the wall has revealed a few small holes after brushing it with a wire...
