    If you do need to remove more water you can siphon a garden hose. While this method is not as fast as the pump it gives you another method and keeps you away from the pool store

    I understand you concern regarding your liner. I'd be more comfortable running higher CYA/CL levels and letting the CYA level come down with backwashing and partial refills instead of ruining the liner. However if your CYA level is still off the charts it would be beneficial to drain off more water again. This process alone will eventually get your CYA lower granted you don't add any CYA or stabilized tabs to the water.

    Let us know what your level is after it is tested again.

    Take care.

    I am going to test it on Friday. I figure that should give it more than enough time to mix together and come down if it is going to come down. If it doesn't come down or not down enough. I will drain again this weekend. I was actually hoping of jumping in the pool instead of the pool water jumping out

    I retested it today and I was a milimeter below the 100 so it is definately alot better than when I started but not in range.

    I also tested my tap water to make sure that wasn't the problem and it was at 0.

    I am going to start a syphon when I get home this morning see how fast that goes. I am hoping by this afternoon that it will at least be close to the return but who knows.

    Wish I thought of that but now the water is below the skimmer so I can't do that. I am having a hard time starting a syphon with the 2" hose. I started one this morning with the syphon that goes on the top of my winter cover. It is real slow as it only has a 1/4" hose. This may be a 2 day process for me.

    You seem to be on the right track and fortunately your CYA level did not register as high as you thought it was.

    It will take sometime but you will get there.
