Thanks for your replies ! @mknauss , that's great ! I don't need to account for "drained" water then. I'll wait for my CYA result before adding any more. @Texas-splash, yeah, the sock got sucked from the pool side skimmer...and (thankfully) made its way to the pump strainer :)

Thank you ! appreciate the quick response.

heck All, I have notice that when I open the basket between the "wet" and "dry" side of my pump (I think it is called the pump strainer pot), to clean it out, I can hear the water draining out of my attached Pentair cartridge filter. I assume this is because of the pressure loss. I wanted to...

Hello All, It seems, what I've been dismissing till now as dust and spring-summer tree debris, may be mustard algae. I'll be doing OCTL tonight to ascertain the FC loss. I've already started the SLAM process by pouring in 1 gallon of 10% Cl while adjusting pH, brushing the pool sides and...

So, the kit arrived today. CYA was high 160-170. I started the water drain today. Will start filling in a few hours from now. The questions I have now are: 1) I got the fine granular stabilizer (99% CYA). The directions on the packet are quite different to the "sock" method. Should I still go...

Thanks a lot to everyone for a warm welcome and quick replies. My test kit should arrive soon. Thankfully there are a couple of "cooler days" ahead, so hoping to get the full/partial drain-refill done in that sweet-spot. In the meantime, I'll go over all the links to get myself prepared...

Hello All, I'm excited to join this community of kind and driven pool enthusiasts :). I'm from Phoenix, AZ area. We changed our pool water a couple of years back. As the temperature is slowly rising, I decided to get my water tested at Lesslie. Following was the result: FC-5 TAC-5 CH-480 CYA-170...
