Thanks, Sprocket - that answers a lot of questions. I won't hold my breath waiting for one of Ben's kits then.

I can't do the BBB method until all the trips are over - there is no way anyone will do that for me and even hubby is skeptical of the bleach-only method. So the CYA will just stay up there until I can get back and do a drain, or if we keep getting rain. The pucks are feeding and the pump is running 24/7. I'm a bad forum member right now!

Next year we are planning to go to Europe. Sigh....
