    Another method is to fill a 5 gallon Home Depot Bucket with pool water, add the CYA and cover it for a few days, stirring or mixing it every once in a while. Then pour off the disolved liquid directly into the pool, being careful not to dump the undisolved granules into the pool. Then re-fill the bucket with more pool water to dissolve the remaining granules. Repeat as necessary untill all disolved.

    I just bought some CYA today to replace what I lost with the leak. I noticed that the granules are much smaller than the previous bucket I had. I like BTG's method of pre-dissolving in a bucket. This batch actually dissolved very quickly . . . in less than an hour with a little stirring now and then. Granted, I didn't have to add 6 pounds but still, the smaller granules help make it dissolve better.
