I am biting the bullet and gonna do a partial drain to lower my CYA levels. I had added liquid chlorine to the pool yesterday as a shock, thinking I would try BioActive one more time in a week, once the algae is gone (first time was a COMPLETE FAILURE), but I figured I'd save the trouble and drain the 80% of the water you fine folks here are recommending. But my Chlorine is pretty high, and since my CYA is 200+, I don't want to wait to drain if I can. My kid is going nuts wanting to go swim.
So, should I toss some ChlorNeutralizer in there and then drain? I definitely won't drain till the chlorine comes down one way or another, so is it just as bad to add another chemical to it before draining?
