Re: New Pool Owner
OK...thanks to this forum, my pool looks great. TC has come down to around 6ppm and ph is holding steady around 7.2. With it being so close to end of season, don't think I'll do a drain right now. I will just live with the high CYA and try to manage the TC and ph. What would my ideal TC number be with my high CYA level?
Re: New Pool Owner
bobcat,
It sounds like your CYA is well over 100, you'll need at least 8ppm FC to keep your pool safe.

Re: New Pool Owner
With your CYA halfway to the 100 mark, it's just a guess at this point--but I would say your CYA is somewhere around 150. I would keep the chlorine ABSOLUTELY no less than 8 ppm but would target somewhere closer to 10-12 at a minimum.
Glad it cleared up--enjoy the rest of your season!!
