    Thank you Ben. The pool looks a lot better and I'm not seeing any more algae.
    I retested the CYA as recommended and its 160.


    I have more questions about stains/calcium build up on the floor and doing a partial drain to drain reduce cya and CH.

    Can I ask on this thread or should I start a new one?

    Thanks again!

    Steve

    + Stains should be a separate thread.

    + Your CH level is not necessarily a problem; don't drain because of that.

    + Your high CYA is not necessarily a problem; it can actually make winter maintenance easier. Once your pool is algae free, you'll may be able to add chlorine just 1x per month.
