    CYA - and Algae Treatment

    my goal is to add a SWG. The question is timing, so I guess I will need to drain the pool once the SWG is put in so that there is no residual bromine? I will drain off some water now to lower the CYA, and probably in the spring add the SWG is what I was thinking.

    I have a Taylor test kit, but took this sample in to the local pool store, as I was out of the CYA testing solution. I thought that I had updated my profile and signature, but I am in Dallas, TX. So, do you recommend replacing water first?

    Old Pool, New Equipment

    I have a 25,000 gal pool, that I just had a new pump installed. The pool had been sitting for about 2 weeks waiting for the pump replacement. Since that time, the water is a nice bright green color. Before I started dumping chemicals in the pool I wanted to got the TFP route. Here is the...
