    Winter pump settings

    Thanks for the reply. The water temp is about 40. I didn't think I needed to run the pump on high speed. Is there a preferred time to run the pump on low speed? Morning, night, or an hour in the morning and an hour or so in the evening? Thanks again.

    CYA test....how long?

    I added 3lbs of granular stabilizer yesterday. How long does it take to show up on my tf-100 test? I did the test several times yesterday before adding and kept getting 0. Black dot never disappeared. Tested it this morning and black dot still did not disappear.

    Based on pool math I'm going to need about 360oz. to get cya to 70. Home Depot has 5lb granular jugs for $20 ea. can I just pour some directly in the skimmer and hang a sock in front of a jet? Guess I should do 10 lbs over the next few days and retest?
