Hello, All.

I am far from recommending this method. I am mainly posting it to get some Other opinions from it. It worked really well for Me; I couldn't believe how well it worked.

My alkalinity was 190, and My PH was 7.2

The method I found (online in a couple of places) said turn off the pump, let the water currents settle fully; go to the deep end (if You have One) and SLOWLY pour about 1/4 cup of CYA in one spot. Do this in 3 or more spots. Do this away from the sides of the pool. If You have an above pool with no deep end, then just pour more columns of smaller amounts. Wait for 30 minutes or so, then turn the pump back on.

What this does is make vertical columns of highly acidic water that burns the Alkaloids out of the water.

What it did for Me was with One treatment, got My TA down to 100, and the PH dropped to 6.9 - 7. this was with about 1 1/2 cup of CYA.

Has anyone else tried this?
