Variation on CYA sock method

[TexEdmond]

I always get so bored waiting for the CYA sock in the skimmer to dissolve... And remembering to squeeze the paste in the sock every once in a while is a hassle.

So I rewired it!

The other way is the "Sock in the Skimmer."

May I respectfully submit: "The Foot-glove in the Fountain!"



Bonus, I can aerate to bring pH up at the same time. With the water spraying up through the sock the granules dissolved really quickly, no brushing, and no need to grope the pasty lump in an old sock. Bleugh.

That is an advanced procedure not for novices.

That is dangerous. It can make me lazy….

Bonus #2 - your neighbors think you are doing voodoo or some sort of weird laundry ritual in your pool & don’t invite themselves over anymore

Do it at night with the fountain light set to purple and "The Monster Mash" blaring. Gotta get ready for Halloween after all...
