If you are using that much bleach each day, you probably would do better with your CYA a little higher. Take it up slowly, though. Don't want to overshoot your target.

You're only a couple of hours away from me, so my climate is much the same as yours--you'll find that you lose a LOT less chlorine if you'll bump your CYA up to 90 or so! That's where I keep mine--and my chlorine loss is only about2-3 ppm daily.
