Howdy!
Been reading here off and on for the last year and I wish I'd taken the BBB route now that I have a CYA problem and am planning a drain and fill here in the next day or so. I've been adding Cl via an automatic chlorinater and 3" pucks. I've been battling algae and discovered there's too much CYA to let the chlorine do its job well. I tested it at 130 and took some water to Leslies to confirm.
There's also a lot of residuals and we have high calcium in our water so they agreed with the drain and fill, I'll be going to the BBB method and using the pucks only for when I'm going to be on vacation etc.
Anywho, we bought the house about a year ago out of foreclosure and it has some puck etching stains I'd like to clear up since I will have the water out for the drain. The spots aren't real noticable unless the chemistry is off and then its the first place algae will reveal itself. I've searched and can't find much on it so any advice is greatly appreciated.
