CYA Question

[Watermom]

Yes. You shouldn't be able to see the dot at all.

So...Can I assume my CYA is on the rise, just not where it needs to be yet?

[Watermom]

What is your volume? I see that you've added 4 lbs. of stabilizer. How many days has it been since you added it? What was your CYA reading before you added it? And, now you are using trichlor pucks, right?

[bobcat]

Volume is 14,000 gallons. New liner, new water 2 weeks ago. CYA was 0. Added 4 lbs stabilizer with sock over return almost a week ago. As stated above, dot starts to disappear around 40, but is still visible filled to top of tube. Bought a floter and have pucks left over from last year. Have not started with the pucks yet, was planning on starting this weekend. Does the pump need to run while the floater is in the pool?

[aylad]

The danger with the floater is large concentrations of high chlorine/low pH "pockets" around the floater that will not circulate unless the pump is on. So... it would be better to have the pump running while the floater is in the pool, but if the pump is off, make sure and stir the water up really well before swimmers get in so that those "pockets" are dissipated. Also, if the floater floats over next to your liner and stays there for any length of time, it will fade your liner in those spots. Might want to consider tethering your floater from both sides of the pool so that it will stay in the middle, and remove it when there are swimmers in the water.

Never mind....Just went to Lowes and found stabilizer for half what the pool store was. I'll "hang the sock" a few more days then take a reading with my new Taylor kit! Thanks ALL!!!
