Cannot raise CYA

[Watermom]

If you poured the water/CYA from the bucket into your skimmer, it would have finished dissolving in the filter and should still be able to be accounted for. Did you backwash any after you added it via the skimmer? If so, how long after the application?

I don't know what's going on. Complete the pool equip form, and the pool test form, and I'll take a look:

I have asked Ben to take the time to read this entire thread if he hasn't yet done so.

I believe he has and I'm running a test he requested now.

Sorry for the confusion. I don't have a skimmer. I dissolved the original application in about 3 gallons of warm water, stirring about every 15 minutes for 5 hours until most of it was dissolved (I thought). Then I dumped it in the pool and used a brush to spread around any granules that were on the bottom and I didn't run my pump for 24 hours to prevent the granules that were left from going into the filter. Sorry for any confusion.
