Yeah I don't use the pucks anymore since the water change to get rid of the cya. So I take it there is no real problem letting the TA go to 70-80, if that's what keeps my pH consistent?

12 year old surface. Still great condition. Have a spa spillover and a waterfall. Have been keeping the waterfall off due to airation.

Last month replaced half my water due to high cya. Now can't seem to stabilize my ph below 8. Todays readings are typical: Temp 82F FC 3 TC 3 CC 0 ph 8 tot alk 100 ca hard 280 cya 39 sat ind 0.52 I add muriatic acid to bring down ph range to 7.4 for a day...

Yes have my own kit, the Taylor complete (high) DPD Cl (0.5-5) not theFAS-DPD chlorine test. Wish I had gotten that one now. But never had any issues with my pool till now. Probably because my old test kit was inaccurate from chemicals that were too old. I agree will be difficult to maintain...

Thanks for your rapid reply, Seems like that cya test is highly subjective what with the viewing of the black dot and all. But it looks to be the problem. Do you think I need to partially replace the water? Temp 79 Tot Cl 5 Free CL 5 Comb CL 0 Ph...

Had my pool for over 10 yrs. chemistry has always been almost perfect every test. Decided to replace my Taylor test kit with a totally brand new one. Now my chlorine levels are way high and have trouble getting alkalinity down. I have my chlorine feeder turned down to almost off. I have delayed...
