Re: C-y-a
Hi, glad to see you back!! Yes, it's fine to add bleach at the deep end with the CYA at the sides, just don't put them into direct contact with each other. You need to get the pH down below 8, though. Low chlorine, low CYA and high pH are ideal conditions to use trichlor, if you're tired of hauling bleach

Janet,
I just checked my ph and is was probably over 8. I went ahead and added some acid, how long do you think I need to wait to retest. Also I was going to retest about dark and add bleach to get me to about 8 or 9 ppm. Does this seem like a good idea.

I'm not Janet but ............You can retest pH after 3 hours or so. Give the acid plenty of time to mix in well. Yes to adding more bleach this evening.

Watermom,
Sorry I thought Janet had answered my first question but thanks for the reply. Will retest tonight.
Thanks

It was Janet. But, she and I bounce in and out of the threads without worrying about 'whose' thread it is.
Re: C-y-a
Just want to confirm:
+ 30K gal pool
+ 50+ CYA in fall
+ 0 CYA when opened
+ 70 gallons of 6% bleach to achieve chlorine retention overnight (140 ppm chlorine dose!)
Are those statements correct?
