Hey Gang, I threw in the towel. I was going to build my own deck but decided to leave it to the professionals. Also, a new deck turned into a new deck, new coping, new tile, and a resurfacing. Might as well! So to my questions... I could use your professional opinion on a job that is...

Hey guys, I bought a house about a year ago and kept the pool guy that maintained it in the past. He sold his business and every since I've struggled with green water. I've learned from your site and the local pool store that I must drain about half my water because my CYA was was too high...
