    CYA and Puck Shortage?

    Ace has LC 2.5G refills for a few dollars. I think I pay about 20 for four refills. Winn Dixie will have bleach for .99 a gallon and BOGO now and then.

    CYA and Puck Shortage?

    I get my LC from a local Ace -- dry "stuff", I use a locally owned pool store -- I just have to deal with the eye rolls and the "That's a lot of X" comments -- whether it's the higher CYA or FC levels. I just smile and move on. At one point, I told them my pool was a 100K gallons, so they...

    CYA and Puck Shortage?

    I ordered some from amazon -- although I prefer to support local businesses, even if they're chains -- employees at least live here.

    CYA and Puck Shortage?

    Pool stores around here are either low or out. There was a plant in St. Charles that burned down. I've switched to LC, with my SWG and I need stabilizer.

    Freaking Rain!!!

    In Central Fl, some years our rainy season is all year long. I had been using pucks earlier in the year and my pool was blue, but my CYA jacked up to 120. So, I stopped the pucks and did a water exchange, then the rain, hurricane and more rain.

    Freaking Rain!!!

    I find it a battle -- it's rained all week -- one day it rained five inches.

    Freaking Rain!!!

    What do you guys recommend using liquid Cl for the rainy season, which can be throughout the year in Central Florida. It seems like a real battle to keep the pool even light green. I will be installing SWG in a couple months. But, for now...? I've gone through a lot of chlorine.

    Does it matter the rate of adding liquid Cl?

    We do most of our pool projects after hurricane season, partly to avoid playing the odds, but mostly, it's cooler. So, before installing a SWG, I was discussing adding Cl with my sons. One asked if it mattered whether we added a gallon in the morning versus trickling a gallon throughout the...

    Do I Ultra SLAM if it's not metal?

    Algae stain?

    I don't have pics -- at work :) Since last year's hurricane and our pool turning into a swamp, we emptied about 60% to lower CYA. Refilled -- SLAM'd, scrubbed, vac'd, etc. The top 18 to 24 inches seems to have a yellow tint (stain?) to it. My first inclination is pool surface. Any...

    SWG input

    My pool is 25K -- that generator is for 40K. I can still use it, correct? I can kick it down to halfish?

    SWG input

    I have the 3400VSP. It's four or five months old. I have four valves right now. However, I can combine the Vacuum/Skimmer and Main Drain skimmers in to one 3-way valve.

    SWG input

    While I find dumping gallon after gallon of liquid chlorine soothing :) , I'm considering a Salt System. I have a hayward VSP pump and want to move toward complete automation. Is this acceptable: AquaPlus | Automation | In Ground Pool Automation - Hayward Pool Products I have four valves --...
