Let me start by saying thankyou for your help, guys, and having a babysitter help me in the beginning was worth the dough. Things are looking great. Just ready to take it to the next level if necessary. I will not be a pest, as I'm sure now that pools are in the swings of thing across the country, you must be busy.

Here is a link to original post for reference if needed.

Here are my new readings: (no wise asses, I know it's only May 31st)

CYA 55
CH 300
TA 130
pH 7.7
CL 3ppm
CC none

I've used liquid chlorine, liquid muratic acid, pills in a floater, and some shock to get it where it is.
I finally have a decent CYA reading, and the water looks clean as can be.
I will start using just liquid chlorine late afternoon, as sun dissapears from pool, as well as some liquid muratic acid.
It is at a point where balancing the CL and pH is easy, and not using as much as I used before.
I will try to cut out the pills in the floater unless I go away for a week or so.

So, how am I doing? CH is high, and no CC. Is this fixable or is it not important?

Here are my numbers for the month before: 5/9/2014

CYA 20
CH 250
TA 130
Ph 7.6
CL 3ppm
CC none
