Hi Shari,

I knew I recognized the screen name. Thanks for the advice. As it turns out, after adding muriatic acid, my PH is down and my chlorine has soared due to the 100% setting on the SWCG. So, taking your advice, I will not ad CYA yet, it appears I don't need it with the Chlorine levels I am currently showing. I turned the SWCG down to 50% to see how the chlorine levels hold, and with the addition of the acid, it appears that the Ph/chlorine/cya situation may be resolved.

I will be leaving for work tomorrow for the next two to three days, and the real test will be my results when I return on Tuesday morning. I think with everyone's advice I am certainly heading in the right direction. There is something very satisfying about taking care of your own pool, I think I am really going to enjoy the little challenges from time to time! Having a great resource to refer to makes the process that much easier!

Thanks again and it is great to "read" a familiar face.

Mike
