Generally, you'll run out of CYA reagent over the course of a summer. Leslie's usually has it in stock if you have one near you. I also order reagents from the Taylor Technologies website, since I have Ben's kit and most of those reagents have Taylor numbers on them already. You can use reagents for up to 2-3 years with no problem, as long as they are stored in a fairly dark, temperature controlled room where they won't freeze. I keep mine in a cabinet in my pantry. Poconos (another mod) keeps his in the refrigerator, I think.

Calcium levels for a pool with any kind of contact with plaster/concrete should be kept in the 200-400 range, I believe...
