Hey all. Purchased a home last year with a 20,000 gallon pool with a dilapidated pump/filter and really old vinyl liner (all 10+ years). Had serious problems the 2 months it as opened with pool chemistry, leaking, problematic equipment, and algae...so much so I was just about ready to give up on the pool. I've been reading posts in this forum for the past year and it has helped tremendously. I am now currently employing the BBB method. Recently had my sand filter and pump replaced/upgraded to a Pentair Tagelus and high performance pump. Also had the auto chlorinator and timer replaced with pentair products as well. Keeping the old vinyl liner for now and just patched about 5 holes in it. It was leaking so bad. The pool has been a joy to use and maintain since the upgrades and BBB method. I do still use the automatic inline chlorinator with 3" pucks. I know these have CYA in them and have also read that they affect the pH. Please give me the low down on these pucks...
