Best CYA Level for Lots of Sun - Location Hawaii

[grangerhj]

I am glad to see a post from another Louisianian- the high temperature in south louisiana since April coupled with a CYA over 160 has given me fits! I have lowered my cya to around 90 but I find that I am stuggling to keep my CL at 3. Ideally I should be keeping it around 10 correct? I am adding bleach everyday- 1/2 to 1 gallon. TA is 150 Ca 250 PH 7.3 FC & TC both 3- any suggestions

You didn't say how big your pool is, but adding 1/2 to 1 gallon each night isn't necessarily all that much. I have a 24 ft AG and cya around 40 and I add 2-3 qts. per evening on most days. With a cya of 90, you're gonna have to add enough bleach to get the cl where you need it or you're gonna have a green pool to deal with.

I am sorry, I have a 12,000 gallon fiberglas pool. I am glad to hear that you add that much each day because I thought I was adding a lot= now I think I might not be adding enough. Thanks so much

Have you considered doing another partial drain? If you exchanged 50% of your water, you would lower your cya to about 45 which is ideal.
