Since my last post, I decided to use calcium hypochlorite and cya that I can purchase through a customer of mine. I decided that having to purchase a large quantity and store it is more cost effective than what I've been doing. 50lbs of cya will last a long time, but it will store in a 5 gallon pail or 2, that I have plenty of. The cal-hypo I'm getting a 100lbs, and will store it the same way.
If you think it's nasty now, you should have seen it Friday when I open it for the first time since Nov. It smelled bad too. So far, I'm having lots of fun, Friday I installed a new pump motor, this one was under warranty. This year has been cool and I have no heater. I have a lot of trees, so I will only get to use the pool this year 2 months or so. Every year I debate whether or not to just fill it in.
