Hello everyone – I am new to this group but have read the articles for years. We have tenants in the house that has the pool and they kept using conditioned powdered shock.
So now we have a pre-Algae/cloudy water situation because of all the warm weather and no rain. I can balance the water using the Taylor 2006 tests specs, But I’m losing quite a bit of Chlorine overnight .The cya is off the charts- Even with the 2-1 dilution.
So my plan is to try to change out the water as much as possible before I slam in the pool.
With the dough boy I know you can’t drain the pool completely but how much Can you take out at one time? We also have a limit to how much water per day we can use because we are on it well. So I worry that I will only be able to take out about 6 to 12 inches at a time and then replace it. But then if I do it again the next day I’m just taking out good water mixed with the bad.
Does the CYA sink to the bottom of the pool? Or is it evenly disbursed?
Any ideas for a plan of attack would be appreciated.
