Cya testing

[RedwingT]

Thanks! Been a hectic last few days and the pool shows it. I started getting algae back so I went into shock mode once again. My biggest problem is that I've added 2lbs of CYA and I still don't get a reading. (Last lb. was 7 days ago) I'm going to add one more lb. and hope to at least get a 30 reading in 7 more days. It's strange! I think I will leave the sock hanging a cpl days after all the CYA has dissolved from it. IDK what else to do, it makes no sense to me why I still have such a reading. Unless of course Leslie's CYA isn't actually 99% as it states.

Also as far as the reagents go, my local Leslie's carries them so I will be picking them up today on the way home from a Dr. appt.

Thanks to all who have helped me along the way, I'm trying not to get to frustrated but my thoughts keep wandering towards "it will be time to take the pool down before I get good levels of CYA and Chlorine holding". I am thankful it is USABLE thou, so that's a huge plus!
