Hello, I moved into a new house with a pool. I have never owned a pool before. The pool is inground plaster 29,500 gal.
I have purchased the TF 100 test kit. I have been testing and found my CYA out of range high. It looks like the previous owner was using dichlor shock and chlorine pucks. So I'm thinking that is the reason for the high CYA. From what I have read, if i want to lower my CYA i will have to drain some water from the pool and refill. This really will be difficult, my water source is a well it seems like it will take forever to fill the pool after lowering, and possibly run the well dry. I guess I can get water delivered. Is there any other way to lower CYA?
Thanks for any help.
