Hello guys. I have been doing the traditional inline chloriator/cal hypo powder shock and I am intrigued with the site. Draining the pool every 1-2 years for CYA sucks. The only thing I cant figure out is how often do you have to add bleach? Is this an every day thing? Seems like a pain to deal with and also storing all this liquid. Also I noticed it seems to be a bit more expensive, as a 24 pack of powder on Amazon is less than 3 bucks a pound and the 10 percent bleach from Walmart is 3.29 or so a gallon. What am I missing? Also the local pinch a penny pool stores sell liquid chlorine. Not sure the strength but I think they want to sell you the container as well, and then refills after that.
One more newbie question. My pool is in need of replastering, so there are a few spots that are rough and I have a very hard time brushing algae from these spots with my usual nylon brush. Should I use a stainless brush for this before SLAMing? Will it damage my plaster even more?
Last test results were 10 FC, 0 CC, 50 CYA. Forget the pH but its right in the middle. I dialed the chlorinator down a bit to get back to 7 FC. The weather here is crazy right now. 40-50s one day and 80 the next so my sanitizer load keeps changing due to sunlight. Water is clear except for the faint green spots and filters are new but I will be cleaning them after I kill the last bit of green algae.
