Can't seem to lower CYA

[jenmenke]

Get a neighbor to dump a bottle of bleach in every couple days when you're gone. You don't have to be a pool expert to do that. My 70 year old neighbor does it for me.

not an option for me. We live in the sticks. It is a major event to get someone to come every three days to feed the cats and the chickens. I have to have something besides a nightly commitment.

If you have them add enough bleach to bring it back up to shock level (based on your cya reading), you could probably just have somebody add bleach every third day. Try it yourself and see if you can maintain a chlorine reading that long.

that may work. I'll try that this year.
