    Want to take over my pool maintenance

    Finally had the water recycled. It was such an easy process. The tech came out and tested the water. My 2 main concerns were the Calcium hardness(925) and the CYA(300+). When the recycle was done my CH was 75 and CYA was 15. Since they do connect to outside faucet I can not say how much water I...

    That is great to hear I can eventually get my pool stable enough to go on vacation without constant monitoring. Our intent in retirement was to travel. Travel plans on hold until the world opens back up so plenty of time to get to know my pool. With all the great advice I have been getting on...

The cost of a recycle is a little more than the cost of the water for a refill but not by much. My time is money too so actually it will...

    Want to take over my pool maintenance

    Have not drained the pool yet. Figured I’d give this post enough time for some input. My plan was to drain with a pump and refill with 2 standard garden hoses with attached filters. Just as an added measure. Already had them so why not use them. With how high the CH and CYA are, a 50-75% drain...
