question

Dear RR,
This might be a dumb question, but next to your pump, do you have a filter?
I'm guessing that you have a small cartridge filter. I'm just trying to understand what you have so we can better help you.
The others who posted here to help you are 100% correct, as usual
As they said, CYA is slow dissolving......if putting it in your filter isn't practical, you can put some in a stocking and hang it in front of the hose blowing water in your pool.....it could take a day or two or three to dissolve.

Once in, you will need to keep a minimum amount of chlorine in your pool,,,,(see "best guess chart" at the top of this forum-it's a sticky).
You may wish to buy an inexpensive test kit....I have Ben's and love it, but for your type pool, even a $13.00 Walmart 5 way testkit is better then strips.
Also, I get your forum name.... Welcome to the forum. There are really good people here that will help you. You may wish to keep your questions on one thread..that way there is less confusion and people can help you easier.

Good luck, Frank D.
