    The lines were there since right after the pool builder had plaster people come last July and redo. Ok, so just retested before I take a sample to test at store. Alkalinity is down from 270 to 210 still high PH is 7.2 FC/Br 1:2 TC/Br 1:2 CC 0 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I did start draining it at night but it took a long time so it finally finished yesterday afternoon and I started refilling it yesterday afternoon/evening. I wish my pool builder would have told me, when they suggested draining, a little more information because I could have put a hose on it if...

    Yes the CYA of 80 was after the last drain I just drained it again so I’m hoping it is significantly lower because I drained almost half or a little more than half this time as well. I am learning but when you say 5 ppm how do I know what that means with my pool

    Thank you. I did not have pool guys do the drain. They recommended it and I did it myself. I did not have the cya test kit yet to get a reading so I don’t know where it’s at but I am hoping, since this is the second time I drained half to more than half it helped majorly. I ordered the kit and...

    Yes, after I drained and filled back up those spots appeared. I’ve emailed the pool company again because I’ve honestly never seen my pool look so bad. There is algae stains now at the bottom and sides that won’t brush off. I just went out and brushed it and added as much acid as I had on hand...

    Thank you for the reply! I should have been on here all along. We have been taking the water to Leslies to check the levels and I don’t know how accurate they are. It’s a start, but I feel like I knew what I was doing until I found out about CYA and how it affects the chlorine. No one even told...

    Hello! Thanks for the response. I use the testing kit they gave us with the pool. It tests for alkalinity, ph, and chlorine. I was using strips that tested the Cyanuric acid but I just ordered a cya test kit as the strips didn’t seem too accurate. I had my pool company come test the cya after...

    We have been struggling with high CYA for the last few weeks. I had done a partial drain and refill two weeks ago and it seemed the levee had gone down and the chlorine was back to working, but after a few days the chlorine stopped registering again. I drained it again last night and it finished...
