    Pseudomonas or Chem Sensitivity

    Thank you for that. I do use the K-1004 and have been giving it my best shot. Just refilled the tub today and am going to try dichlor. I have to let this rash heal first before I can do a real test. Thank you again.

    Pseudomonas or Chem Sensitivity

    CYA Lowering in "Winter"

    Update- drained 60% of the pool and took the water to get tested today at Leslie's. I ran out of the reagent and my shipment hasn't come in yet. They said it's just over 100. I'm sort of at a loss at this point. The CYA must have been even higher than my initial test. We even got in trouble from...

    CYA Lowering in "Winter"

    Re: CYA Lowering in "Winter" Hi there! I purchased the single CYA testing kit that's available since my Taylor kit is still relatively full. I figured that was the most economical solution at this point. - - - Updated - - - I don't have a bottom drain, unfortunately. My husband...
