    Spring swamp

    So poor decisions at closing made for a swamp this spring. :( So here I am trying to get my pool back.

    Ok my pump is finally operational. Now I need to add CYA. According to pool calculator I need 4 lbs 8oz. What is the best way to add that much? A little at a time with the sock/skimmer method? I got the granules. Instructions say add directly to skimmer but I have read this is not the best...
