New owner of an old pool (previously maintained by a pool service!!):
FC = 1
pH=7.2
Alk=110
Hard=3900
CYA = <100
I know I need to drain my IG pool to get the CYA down to acceptable levels, but exactly how do I do that? I can backwash, but it seems to stop draining at the top of the first step (Water flow drops significantly, skimmer makes strange sounds, pump seems to be straining) According to the calculator, I need to drain about 60-70% of the water. Oh, and make the directions as simple as possible for mechanically-challenged TIA
