the pool is clear, blue. cloudiness is all gone. checked the cya this morning and it is still low. the chlorine is still holding this morning, but it is very sunny today so im sure it will be non existent before the day is out. i tried buying a kit at the pool store yesterday, but they had none so i am going to have to order one. you had suggested the taylor k-2006. do you have any suggestions as to the best place to buy as i will have to order that online. also, should i wait until the cya is better before trying to use the absoric acid to get rid of the brown stains? thanks again. you have been so helpful!
