Replacing half the water is certainly the best plan. You should invite them to join the forum. But keep in mind that there are risks, and friendship is always more important than pool care.
Yes, they need to do some draining and refilling, or use a heck of a lot more bleach to shock for that CYA level!
Thank's guy's I just wanted to make sure...I suggested that they join the forum and get the test kit&use the pool calculater..I told her she should double check me but the only way you will get it to clear up is to drain atleast half...How to you check cya over 100?????...I've never been that high..
You can do the test with dilution. Mix equal parts of pool water and tap water together, measure the CYA level of that, and multiply the result by two. The results will be less precise, but they will give you an idea of your CYA level.
Thank's...The pool company recomend's 30-150 cya level..wow!!!..It max'd over 100 with my test..the pool company said it was 130...which they said was fine...
