I have been a pool owner for 2.5 years and it has been very frustrating. I drained the pool 1.5 years ago and after following everything the pool store told me to do, I now have to partial drain again because CYA is sky high. I finally got fed up at this and have ended up on this forum, excited to go in a new direction. I have read the beginner articles like ABCs of chemistry, Pool 101, and others. I am wondering where to start after this partial drain is complete this afternoon. I am (hopefully) getting a Taylor 2006c of TF-100 test kit this afternoon. I went to 3 stores looking for them and the last store said he could have it delivered to his store this afternoon. If I am not able to get it today, would Leslie's free testing be acceptable for the first week before I can get a kit in the mail?
I will update this afternoon with either my home test or a Leslie's test result after the partial drain and see where to go from there. All my pool info is in my signature!
