Look in the right hand corner just above your post, and you'll see the links for pages 1-3--I think the missing posts you're looking for were probably on the bottom of page 2?

Hi there! I think my pool water is finally getting under control. I have been very diligent about vacuuming, not using cal-hypo but keeping the trichlor level high. My readings this evening are:
TC: 2-4, pH:7.2 and steady for 5 days, TA: down to 230, TH: 350, CYA: still less than 30(There's some cloudiness which tells me it's coming up). Due to what though?
The water is clear.
Now, I took Ben's advice regarding jetting the water to help bring the alkalinity down. It's working! I had a submersible pump. I put it in the pool and attached a short hose to it and tied it to the ladder pointing it at the water of the pool about 8" off the surface. It created a lot of bubbles. I ran it all day today. It brought the TA down quite a bit! I down remember what the numbers were but over 300, and now it's at 230? Wow.
Plus, I stopped a lady at Walmart from buying cal-hypo shock for her pool today. I told her to just use unscented bleach, she'd be better off and to join this forum.
Thanks
If you are using trichlor, it has CYA in it. That would be what is bringing your CYA level up.
