Is 60 oz liquid chlorine per day standard for a 9,000 gall pool

Carl, I think he meant he was raising the cya to 50, not the FC.

Oops! Yeah, raising CYA to 50ppm is a reasonable strategy...Sorry...My Bad!

A while back, Ben had mentioned keeping higher CYA levels for pools using bleach to avoid frequent additions. 50 ppm CYA may not be enough to do what you want, you may have to end up closer to 60 - 80 (!) to be able to hold the Cl. I know with my pool, even with keeping the CYA in the 40's once the sun starts beating on it all day, it will kill off the Cl pretty good. Wasn't that unusual for me to lose about 2 ppm/day.

Keep us posted on how it goes.

Once again thank you for all the replies and concerns.

Yes the pool is gunite and the CYA level is being raised to 50 ppm.

And as far as Hawaii goes, recently due to the world climate change we have noticed a few clouds in the sky so we are thinking of moving! Or maybe we should just drink a few extra Mai Tais!
