Thanks Ben,

After reading numerous threads on your forum I was coming to that conclusion. I've had a high CYA in the past and had to drain most of my pool. Should I try to get rid of the algae first? Or go ahead and drain? And...how can I avoid a high CYA in the future? Is liquid chlorine better to use? Been reading lots. Sry for all the ?'s.
I am having a girls weekend (hell yea!!) in a couple of weeks and want my pool ready.

Thanks again!!
