To splash my pool I simply have a length of flexible pipe screwed into the poolside water inlet that's aimed above the water surface. It's not exactly pretty but is reasonably energetic. It had been 8 years since I last fully drained the pool for painting and I'm sure that in that time a lot of CYA had accumulated in the water. As of yesterday I had manged to get the TA down to 230 but obviously I've still got a ways to go. I am going to more closely watch my CYA in the future and hopefully reduce my trichlor input which should also reduce my borax requirements. I've been a follower of Ben's for years and have always had good results. At this moment, despite the high TA, the water in the pool is the clearest I've ever seen. It's simply stunning. I guess it was due for a change!

Thanks,

Geoffrey
