    Drain pool or chem treat?

    I do not have a drain at the bottom of the pool. I could backwash or vacuum to waste but, this will only take me so far below the skimmer. the local pool co will drain for $600 though😬

    Drain pool or chem treat?

    So I have checked cya and ph this morning. Cya is at about 50 and ph is 7.2. I added 6 lbs of stabilizer. Should I drain a bit to get rid of some cya so I don’t have to use as much liquid chlorine or should I go ahead and just use 6 gallons to reach shock level.

    Drain pool or chem treat?

    Thank you. At any point could I use the 45 lbs of baking Soda that the pool store enticed me into buying? Can’t it be used to raise TA & PH?

    Disregard, as for as cya goes. Is the Clorox stabilizer any good? My local pool store charges way too much and I can’t order delivery from them😬

    What can I use this for?

    So backstory, I got this at an auction for $10 What could I use it for? And is there anyway I can convert it from this plug? I figured maybe I can somehow use it to clean the pool as a way to bypass my system. Any recommendations?
