    Chemical Question

    Is CYA the same thing as the 3" chlorine pucks? I am draining half the water in my pool because my CYA level was about 90ppm. I assume i will have to add some CYA when I refill, I hope not. Just wandering what I need to put in just in case I need to add. Gdog

    Chlorine Question

    I am starting to open my pool & I tested my chlorine. The color is orange & it looks to be way off the charts on the high side. I am guessing the ppm is 10 or more. The color is not even close to the color that the test kit shows that it should be after putting in the drops. My ph is close to...
