    3) Allow your pool to become a smelly, mosquito-breeding algae-ridden swamp for a month and have to clean the mess up.

    Sadly, that's about it....
    2 wont work for them. They want to convert the pool into a pond with fish.

    Then I cannot help.

    This is a swimming pool forum, not a fish pond forum!

    Sorry, Carl, but I was just trying to get accurate info on how to remove all the CYA from my pool....not trying to turn it into a pond forum or get pond advice.

    I will test next Spring and go from there. If it's like usual, it will have all "magically disappeared" over the Winter, so I won't need to drain.

    Thanks.
