I was hoping to get alittle help from the start this year from the folks who know best (that would be you!!!). Last year I got into a heap of trouble listening to the "pool experts" at the pool supply store. Yeah...I ended up with a CYA of over 200, mustard algae, and a whole lot of money wasted . If I understand correctly, I must first adjust my PH prior to shocking? After shocking my PH will temporarily rise- this is a false "rise"? I also drained 1/3 of my pool water and refilled it. Im just kind of surprised my CYA went from 200-25. maybe all the rain and snow over the winter? Would you recommend leaving it there? I planned on using liquid chlorine this year to keep my CYA in check but I do have pucks left over- nervous about using as they are stabilized. Any advice would be so helpful. If I have another year like last year Im seriously thinking about filling in my pool (with dirt!!!) I live in RI and my pool is 36,000 gallons. Thank you! Tracy
