    CYA is gone after winter

    I checked my CYA at closing in early October and it was sitting about 45-50. I SLAM'd for a couple days, winterized, and closed the cover. This year has been cold and rainy, so the pool hasn't been opened since October. I opened it on Saturday and it looked pretty bad. Lots of earthworms and...

    DIY - Automated Liquid Chlorine Dispenser

    So, I'm tired of adding LC to the pool every couple of days. At the beginning of the season my CYA levels were at zero, so adding a puck or two wasn't too big a deal.

    TA is high, CYA is low

So I decided to take a water sample to the pool store - I know, I know. Here were my numbers: FC -...

    We bought a pool (with a house attached)

    We recently purchased a foreclosed property - I'm a sucker for a project. The property came with a house that needed lots of repairs, a couple of acres of fruit trees and weeds, an old barn, and a 20X40 foot pool. At some point in its life, someone took good care of the place, but we've been...
