Sounds good I just wanted to check. Yes this is a good wake call for me to pay closer attention! Thank you!

I am closing my pool up and I was balancing off my chemicals. I was going to add a little more calcium which I should have just left alone but I instead I added cya directly to the pool because I was distracted. I have brushed most of it up. And don’t see much on the pool floor. Tomorrow I was...

Will do, I thought it might help but just wanted to check it see if it was a no -no. I actually bought some epoxy last year but never got around to doing . Thank you!
