    I didn't realize you had an in-line chlorinator. Use that instead, of course, but watch your CYA.

    I have an in-line feeder too, and I only use it when I am going to be away. I like to start my pool off with a cya of 30, so that when I use the pucks I don't worry about the cya getting too high. It is nice to have as a back-up, but otherwise I use bleach. I also use cal-hypo shock to bring up my calcium, which I keep at about 125 in my fiberglass pool.

    In fact, I'm heading out this weekend, so I've dropped a couple of pucks into the feeder to keep things going while I'm away. Hopefully, things will not have gotten too far out of hand by the time I get back.

    This morning:

    ph - 7.5 (started at 7.2, but trying to maintain 7.5)
    alk - 80 (trying to adjust to about 100)
    fc - 6 ppm
    cc - 0
    tc - 0
    cya - 0 (but trying to adjust to 25-30)
    h20 temp - 70 degrees (pool is 3/4 in the shade)


    Happy Memorial Day weekend!
