First I want to thank all of you-----I finally have a beautiful clear pool. Had my doubts but kept plugging away with the bleach and just like you promised I finally have a Swimming Pool again.
Do have a couple of questions though. Even after draining my pool about 1/2 way I still have a high CYA of 120. I know I should drain again but Im going to try to just maintain a higher chlorine level for right now.
Pool readings: Chlorine: 10
Ph: 7.8 (is this too high)
TA: 160
CYA: 120
Are my readings ok???
Also have a really dumb question. Will calcium hypochlorite raise my cya?? The reason Im asking is our ACE store has a good sale on it and right now it is cheaper than bleach----but I do not want to raise my cya. The package reads calcium hypochlorite 62.4%, other ingredients 37.6% , Available chlorine 60%. Would it be ok to use or should I just stick to bleach?
Again THANK YOU!!
Karen
