New 12' x 3' Intex pool in Texas

[PoolDoc]

We've had several of the Intex 12' blow up ring pools over the last 5 years.

That's consistent with what I've heard elsewhere on the Forum -- the Easy-Set pools don't last long. But we also hear of individual Intex metal frame pools lasting 5 years. You might want to consider switching next time.

Got the Taylor test kit:

Free chlorine = 9
PH = 7.8
Total Alkalinity = 290
CYA = 90

Water is clear. Wondering what you would recommend at this point?

[Watermom]

What are you using for chlorine at this point? With a CYA of 90, it is time to just use bleach. You don't want your CYA any higher.
