    Yes! I grab a sample of pool water 12 inches below the surface. I pour 1 part pool water into an empty container then pour 2 part tap water into the same empty container. Shake the container with both solutions and pour it to the 7 mark on the tiny bottle. I then take the CYA solution in the...

    Need help with selecting new SWG and VS pump
