Sorry for the reply to such an old message. Here is my question: I just had my inground pool winterized. I noticed my skimmer has 2 pipes. One they blew out and has one of those blue things screwed into it. The other one I'm not sure what it is for. It is filled with water and I am concerned...

I use an app called pool pal which lets you see the different recommendations based on different sites. E.g. tfp and sets your target accordingly. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Do you, or anyone have the best link for me to start at to ditch the chlorinator system and go straight bleach? 24000 gallon inground pool. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Yes there's one about 20 minutes away. I need to do more reading on what my frequency of bleach would be and how much I would use when I finally replace the chlorinator cartridge. I clearly have homework to do my goal is to just get through this season and then switch things up next since I only...

I'll turn my chlorinator cartridge up tomorrow which should raise my free chlorine. This will probably raise my cya is well I assume. I wonder if I can do a balance of liquid bleach in my chlorinator cartridges. I'll do some more research clearly thank you all for your help Sent from my...

Thanks! Do you have any idea if I can drain water from the shallow end while at the same time put a hose in the deep end and to kind of keep the water level the same but replace the water at the same time? I'm trying to see if there are any local services that can do it for me but I'm not having...

Can you give me more information on what you mean? I'll try anything I love learning this stuff :-) and in some areas I'm confident but not this one. The only reason I would take it to the pool places try to get a more accurate above 100 reading for cya. But it sounds like I don't have to...

Yes I have a Taylor 2006 kit, but as another user stated I can only test up to 100. The test strips seem pretty accurate. I use the Taylor as a baseline to judge their accuracy. But in this case the test strips appear to have a higher test range for CYA. I don't mind hauling bleach so I may...

The test strips had a higher range, I'll be bringing a sample to my local pool supply center tomorrow for a more accurate reading. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Would you recommend long-term I discontinue the use of the chlorinator cartridges and stick with straight liquid bleach? Can you tell me the pros and cons of that? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
