    Default Re: Drain AG and refill?

    The problem with draining a liner pool is that it often will destroy your liner. Once drained, your liner may no longer fit properly. It probably won't be as bad to clear your pool as you might think. Just shock it and sustain the high chlorine reading. Test it as many times a day as you can - 3x a day is good - and each time, add enough bleach to take it back to shock level based on your cya reading. Also run the pump 24/7 while you are working to clear the pool. Watch your filter pressure. If is rises 8-10 psi, then backwash. By the way, welcome back to the forum!

    Take a look at the pics in this thread. Note the time frame on the pictures. It is pretty amazing how quickly bleach can get a pool under control!
