Long story short: Married for 40 years, husband finds younger woman = divorce. He took care of the pool & I limped along last year barely keeping it going. Have the Iaqualink and my router went out last fall, replaced router & haven't been able to connect since. I'm totally wanting to learn how to care for my pool but a little overwhelmed. Have been on this site for several years - he wouldn't consider the option of doing it this way. SWG went out so he threw pucks in the auto chlorinator. Had pool company come out & check - replaced the module & SWG started working again. All was fine till fall came along with oak leaves, router went out, couldn't find the net we had to cover pool. I was having a hard time dealing with everything that comes along with untangling 40 years of life with another person. Soooooo .... one huge brown swamp. My grandchildren are getting antsy so I have to get this mess cleaned up & going. I have the test kit & checked my levels - sad to say CYA is out the wazoo - I even diluted it 50/50 and the black dot is totally visible.

CYA - somewhere in outer space I'm guessing.
I live in a very rural area so I can drain the water to lower CYA. I have 1 bag os salt to add on hand. The control panel says add salt. I have 8 gallons of bleach & 2 gallons of muriatic acid. I have to order more CYA test today before I can test again. So, ugly picture, need lots of help - is this possible to clean the swamp up? I have cleaned a bunch of leaves out & broke my pole but got another & ready to go at it again. Thanks in advance for reading this long post!!!
