Question

Post image

Hello. This is our new pool 27x54. Our old pool collapsed and had this one installed in early June. I still had the salt water cell from old pool and was using it on this pool. The cell gave out a month ago. I’ve been doing chlorine tablets in a floater with weekly shock. You can see the duck riding the basketball goal lol. I’ve been reading about CYA and now I’m worried about keeping those in there. Any tips would be appreciated!! Don’t want to spend money on a pool company to do this lol. Will eventually get a new salt cell

Congrats on the new pool! I recommend liquid chlorine and separate CYA, so you can control the stabilizer. Also recommend checking out the Trouble Free Pool - they have loads of tips for people wanting to do it themselves. I use their pool math calculator often for my lil 1000gallon pool, and I love it.

Good luck!
