How often should I drain my pool?

Posted by cara knapp on Feb 24, 2021

It's recommended to drain when TDS (total Dissolved Solids) levels reach or exceed about 2000 - 2500 ppm, or roughly 1500 ppm more than fresh-fill.

Other reasons, such as high CYA levels or other concerns, may require draining on an as-needed basis.
