We put in a 22 x 52 Intex pool. I am used to Bacquacil and trying chlorine this year. I do not have enough CYA in the water, the water is too hard, 1000. I need a different test kit not the strips correct?

If you know you're at zero CYA, you can use poolmath to get the dose. Conveniently for you, a four pound canister of stabilizer will raise your CYA to about 46. Use the sock method to add it.Thank you! I haven't put in any stabilizer. I think that is my problem. I will pick up a kit or order one tomorrow.
What about the hardness of the water?
If you can vacuum it into the filter, that will work. Otherwise, brush it around every hour or so lest you develop freckles on the liner.I goofed again. I didn't put the cya in a sock. Now I have cya on the floor of the pool. I am stirring it. What else can I do?
