Hello! Last November we drained our pool because of CYA at 160 and took over maintaining the pool ourselves. I have the Taylor 2006K test kit and have been taking care of it up to now by adding liquid chlorine a few times a week and using one trichlor tab a week. Now it is getting warmer here...

I live in the Houston area and we don’t get many freezes but we have four days next week bringing freezing temps. Our freeze mode will keep the pumps on and water circulating from spa to pool but it doesn’t kick on the water feature and I’m wondering if it should. Do you also run the water...

This is super helpful! I was wondering how I could do this at home. At first it seemed to disappear at 80 then after ten seconds I could see the dot so I added a few more drops and it disappeared at 70. So would you consider it 160 or 140? How much water should I drain? Do you think I can...

Thank you for the help and info. We live in Houston, Texas area so it’s warm most of the year with unexpected weather changes but rarely freezes or snows.

Hello! My pool guy has informed us he is raising rates understandably because of increases in prices for chemicals ($30 a month more) so we’re debating if we should begin taking care of it ourselves because we’re already questioning his methods. Occasionally we’ve had our pool tested at a local...
