Cya ???

I have had the same problem... I just connect my vacuum up...put the filter on "pump to waste"....and clean the bottom while I pump water into the vacent field next door...

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.
