    Underwhelmed by Bio-Active CYA reducer

    I've delayed writing this because I don't have the news that I wish that I would be reporting. I didn't notice a decline in CYA after treating my pool with Bioactive CYA Reducer. Between myself and the pool store we came up with a CYA of 110-150. That was with both of us taking a straight...

    Underwhelmed by Bio-Active CYA reducer

    I have received the 3rd bag, but I am following the instructions very closely. I am waiting a full week after shocking the pool and after having removed the pool cover. I will likely add the product on May 2 and would give my 72 hour results on May 5.

    Underwhelmed by Bio-Active CYA reducer

    I copied my link to BiOWiSH, via their website, and received the following reply from Rod Vautier, their VP of Sales and Marketing. I'm at the very least impressed that they responded. I'm not trying to openly promote or trash their product, but publishing the fact that they are big believers...

    Underwhelmed by Bio-Active CYA reducer

    2 Weeks ago I got my pool temperature >70 deg, pH to 7.4 and FC to <4. I put my first bag of Bio-active into the strainer and ran the pump for 4 hours. The problem with the first round was that I never did a diluted test to find a value, besides >100, for my CYA. I tested at 72 hours and 10...

    Partial Drain through through filter via skimmer and bottom drain connection

    Nice, thanks! It's some sort of consolation that there isn't a better way to do it, as is. Assuming I can keep the prime at the pump, would it be wrong to add a "T" between the pump discharge and the filter? I could add a valve that would help regulate the flow out, thus reducing the the...

    Partial Drain through through filter via skimmer and bottom drain connection

    My CYA is >100. I don't even make it within 1/2" of the mark on my Taylor test kit before the black dot has disappeared. I opened the pool 2 weeks ago to a green mess, I couldn't see the deep end. I shocked it with Shockwave 73%, 4 lb worth of it over 2 days. The pool was ready to swim in a...
