My CYA delivery method -don't laugh!

[ScottsdaleSwim]

I saw this at land+living and had to find this post again.

Not only is this a great cya delivery method..
it's ART!

Dubbed a "a 7 year experiment", SPACE 1026 is clearly turning into a succesful attempt.

"Located in Philadelphia, the 2 storey building that is home to SPACE 1026 has developed into a thriving art scene that provides both studio and gallery space for the cities up and coming community of artists.


It is a network of dozens of artists who‘ve had studios at the Space, past and present. It is dozens of artists who‘ve had shows at the Space over the last 7 years. It is dozens of artists who come to our events, and participate in our community. Space 1026 is a community - a creative community - not an institution.
The variety of work is amazing with definitely a few head turners. Especially for me is the work by Artist Rachel Vittorelli (seen above) and her series of light fixtures."

I just got Bens test kit last week and did my first CYA test this spring.

ZERO !!!

and I've just put in an Autopilot that you are supposed to run with very high CYA.

The JUG I got was made by SUN also said to disolve in warm water. Not being fond of that idea I poured it into the skimmer ... with a skimmer sock in place.

Two pounds were disolved and gone in 1 hour flat. Tested and I had 25 PPM according to Ben's kit. Next morning I repeated ... again disolved in and hour.

Done deal.

Soon the pool stores will have the liquid CYA and all this waiting a week, justified or not, will be history.

Hey brent, don't take that reading as final. This weekend I split 4 lbs. of CYA into three skimmer socks, tied them off and let them bob around on the steps. I found the powder was breaking down and forming a cloud, but alot of it dropped right out to the pool bottom undissolved. I'm thinking since your's was in the skimmer, alot of it may have been sucked into the filter and may still be there still dissolving.

I'm betting that CYA level will creep up over the next couple days (don't backwash!).

So what do you know about a liquid CYA? That'd make life easier.

2 Things:

1) The panty hose are a much sexier way to deliver CYA than the dirty gym sock I've used in the past - KUDOS!

2) @ Brent.Roberts: WOW! Ben's back and shipping kits? First I've heard of that. . . figured he'd never ship another kit.
[START EDIT] Strike number 2: I'm a moron - didn't notice that Brent's post was July of 2006. . . . . DOH! [END EDIT]
