Day three of a crispy clear pool!
Have not had a chance to get to Leslie's for the CYA, checked at local Walmart and True Value, no luck. We'll be over that way tomorrow and will pick some up.
So far, I've added about 4-5 qts of Walmart's Great Value Bleach each night, tested in the am and the Chlorine was still at 5 (highest it will go on the Walmart test kit). Tested again around 4:00 p.m. and the first day zilch, today .5, so that's good huh? Especially considering it's been disgustingly hot and humid in CT the past several days...100 degrees!
Once I get the CYA established that should last longer, right?
Bleach at Walmart was $1.47/3 qts. Hoping I won't need to add one a day once I get the CYA level better.
We're also running the filter constantly. We used to have it on a timer to run four hours at night when electricity is cheaper, perhaps that was our biggest problem...'cuz we've rarely ever had a consistently clear pool. Somewhere hubby heard that a pool our size should be fine on four hours a day, but maybe not.
The best part is we're not waking up to a layer of yellow 'dust' on the pool floor.
