Haha okay, see that's what I figured. So I'm just gonna have him come. See if he can figure it out.

Hmm, definitely didn't notice anything like that. They left the number of the company who usually closes their pool. The guy said he could swing by tomorrow and take a look. Said max charge would be about $75. Same as you said he'd really need to See it in person. I'm thinking it's worth $75 to...

Could I tell a diverter by looking in the skimmers? Like would it look different?

Yeah, I figured out what I have to do from Google. The issue is I can't figure out how to ONLY drain from the drain in the deep end. Here's a photo of the main valve. When it's turned to 1, one of the skimmers works; 2, the other skimmer works; and 1/2 seems to drain both of the skimmers just...

Here's a photo of the setup if it helps at all. Also, I did the extended test for the CYA and came to 80 this time around. Yesterday it was rainy and gloomy out, I'm thinking the dark sky may have made it artificially harder to see the dot.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to do the waste feature. I'm assuming I need to shut off my jets and skimmers so the filter doesn't suck air when the water gets low? Or does waste mode circumvent that somehow? Is there anything else that needs to happen?

One thing, the way my pool is situated in the yard there's really almost never shade on the pool. From probably about 9am-6pm it's under constant heat from the sun. There's literally no trees around the pool and the house behind us that could cause shade is a small ranch so it never actually...

This is all correct, I'm not 100% sure yet. Like I said, it was close on that 100 line. So when I get home I'll do the extended test to find out for sure. To make sure it's hopefully not higher than 100. So I'll report back later this afternoon when I get a chance to do that. But either way it...

I'm also gonna redo the CYA test when I get home just to make 100% certain the CYA is at 100. When I did it I really couldn't see the dot anymore and the line was hard to tell if it was 100 or more like 95ish

What's the goal for my CYA to be at? Pool calc told me to drain about half the pool. I'm just worried about draining that all at once. Which is why I was thinking to drain a little at a time.

I'm 99% sure there's no septic tank. I was thinking of just using the waste feature on the pool pump to conserve time. Also, I'm guessing it should be fine to drain like 5-10% and fill and then another 5-10% a few days later and fill etc. Right? Like that should still lower the CYA. Mainly to...

Yeah, so I'll be trying to drain some of the pool tonight then and just take some walks around the block to make sure nobody has a lake growing on their lawn or in the road. Sounds like it's the only way to go though unless as you said I wanna dump gallons and gallons of bleach in the pool.

Also, thanks a bunch for everyone's help. It's good to know that if I chose I can let this go and just keep a higher chlorine level from the sounds of it. Is it possible I could just keep adding more chlorine than usually throughout the season and drain the pool in the fall? Or would that be a...

All of this noted, lll try the alternative testing method tomorrow before I pour in anything just to make certain that's my CYA. As for my CC, pretty sure I did the math right? I forget the exact numbers and how I got to that though to be honest. I only noted the final numbers, not the process...

Yeah noted, ill make sure to look at the bottle when I stop tomorrow to buy it.

I have no bleach right now, I'll have to run to Target or Wal-Mart tomorrow after work to grab some.

Thanks, it's a pretty intimidating kit. Took awhile to understand what it was asking. Once I realized the bottles were color coated snd in order it made stuff a lot easier though. How much bleach do you think? Pool calc said like 2 gallons of 6%? I guess is that fine or would I be better off...

Hi guys, I'm Steve. New here. My Fiancee and I just recently closed on a house last week and have since been having issues with the pool. It's a 27,000 gallon inground pool, vinyl liner, DE filter + heater + Polaris. So anyway, for the water issues. My Dad who has had a pool for years has been...
