Closing chemistry recommendation

[Watermom]

Kinda makes you wonder why more people don't use dichlor to raise CYA instead of the slow-dissolving sock treatment!

One advantage of using the straight CYA instead of dichlor is that is easier to know right off the bat the dose needed to get to a desired CYA level.

I'm one of those who prefer to use straight CYA.

I have never used it. This was my first year even having CYA and I used dichlor. It was very easy. Straight CYA just sounds like a pain... Squeezing a dangling sock, waiting around a week to verify results. Hmmm.

I don't use the sock method. Also doesn't take a week to verify results. At least that's been my experience with my pool.
