High Alkalinity (175) but leaving for vacation

[aylad]

I wouldn't worry about an alk of 175 NEARLY as much as I worry about cl at 1.5 with a CYA of 100. Better get some chlorine in there quick, or you're gonna come home to a swamp!!

Your alk will be okay, but 8 ppm is the minimum for cl with CYA that high....

Thanks Aylad. Will get that chlorine taken care of. I had been at 8 ppm but it's gone down as the well water enters the pool.
