Tell me something I don't know. :laughblue: I premixed it as best as I could in a 5 gallon bucket then I used the jet to agitate the slurry and get more of it dissolved. I did have a little left that was distributed on the pool floor, so I spent some time brushing it around the pool. I figured...

Thank you Mguzzy. I agree, I am going to target a final CYA of 70. I just didn't want to over shoot so I only added an additional 30ppm last night. I am in Western MA, so I am basically at the end of the season.

11 ppm FC as of last night. I added granular CYA stabilizer that should raise me up 30PPM, I am going to test it later today after work after it has had 24 hours to mix in before I do my final CYA dosing. I think I am pretty close, and it should be a more gradual decreases to get to my final FC...

Not a bad idea, I will throw some reagent at it! I don't expect to see any issue, especially when you consider for how long the levels were in the SLAM range, but it won't hurt to be sure.

I adjusted it to run for 30 minutes 4 times a day while the sun burns down the level. I also have 3 free containers of dry CYA stabilizer thanks to the local pool store. Each pool they sell comes with a generic chlorine starter kit, and it sounds like some customers want to have alternative...

I agree 100%. I don't begrudge their system settings one bit! I would much rather let the levels come down, then have to SLAM a green monster just a few weeks before it needs to be winterized! I am off to the pool supply house today at lunch to get the CYA that I need to add and I will be...

My first post in a long long time! My wife and I just closed on our new home. The home came with an older above ground vinyl liner pool, 24 foot round, with an average depth of 3.5 feet, so around 12,000 gallons if my estimates are right. The prior owners have it outfitted with a Hayward...

It is a 1.5 hp Hayward, 115v, rate for a 15amp service. I will write down more specifics when I am home tonight. After repeated backflushing and rinse cycles and a clear sight glass it runs just below 38 psi. I thought it was running more around 20-30 psi when I first started this battle. When...

I am trying to get the feel for my new to me pool, and filter setup. The pool is a 27' Round AG, with a Hayward 210 Sandfilter that takes 200 pounds of sand and has a decent size one speed pump (I think that the filter and pump were designed as a combined unit). The cover fell in with all of...

My test kit from from Trouble Free kits is supposed to arive today or tomorrow. Once it arives I am going to get a good handle on my baseline levels, and I want to get to work. I have already turned the pool from wetlands to milky blue, but I am stuck at that stage. Understandable, since I was...
