Should I raise my cya?

The best info we have at the moment is that -- generally speaking -- if you run your chlorine at 10% of your CYA level, you will lose about the same chlorine, regardless of levels. Put another way: you'll lose about the same amount of chlorine daily if you maintain FC=3 if your CYA=30, as you will with FC=8 and CYA=80.

However, there is some unconfirmed information that suggests that you will lose less at very high FC/CYA levels (FC=15; CYA=150). But even if that info is correct, the improvement is not huge.

Ah! Thank you both very much! That is very interesting, Pool Doc, as I did not know that. So! I guess it's just a bleach adding Summer. That's okay, though, because the water is sparkling clear! Now, if I can just keep the birds from pooping around the rim...............
