    Hmmm, I knew the CYA was going to cause me some grief......

    Are the non chlorine based shocks really that bad? I hate to drain the pool but if it's my only option then I have no choice.

    Is it safe to drain a vinyl liner pool halfway then refill without causing damage to the liner?

    You can safely do a partial drain in a vinyl pool. You're probably going to need to do several partial drains to get your cya reading to a more manageable level.

    I partially drained and refilled and now have a cya of 70ppm. I'm happy with that. Thanks for the tip.
