Hi all,
I have been following the TFP method for about a year now and it has helped a lot. I did however get lazy towards the end of the summer and started floating pucks instead of my daily liquid routine and my CYA of course has shot up to 130, so I understand that I need to drain and refill. Should I fully drain or just partial drain?
Also wondering what I should do after draining... should I use a hose jet nozzle (light pressure) to spray the walls down to get rid of any potential dirt/algae? Should I have it acid washed? I've read mixed things on whether you should acid wash pebble tec. I know someone who had their plaster pool (not pebble tec) acid washed and it really brightened it up and made it look much nicer so I was wondering if I should do something of that sort since I'm draining it.
~15,000 gal pebble tec
pH: 7.7
FC: 5.0
CYA: 130
CH: 420
TA: 90
Thank you in advance for any help on this.
