Hi guys, I'm in need of some guidance in what to do about chlorinating the pool I recently was asked to manage. The last person didn't really know much about pools and our state doesn't require you to be certified, and he only used trichlor.
Currently the pool uses Trichlor sticks via an offline feeder (or maybe it's an online feeder, I can't remember the difference) to sanitize. However the CYA is through the roof 100+ easily, and you guessed it a cloudy pool. So I'm in the middle of diluting it to get it a bit more clear. But since all we have is trichlor it's a pretty tough battle. Any suggestions on what to use?
