    Welcome back!

    Any idea what your CYA reading was when you closed? Since it is now 0 and you have a big chlorine demand, it's a good bet that your CYA biodegraded over the winter and you are now dealing with the results of that. It may take a lot of bleach to clear the pool of the byproducts, but hang in there and keep hammering it with bleach!
