Frustrated pool owner here...... (and fairly new to TFP)
FC 5.5

TC 5.5
CYA 100
TA 140
CH 300
PH 7.6
I've been battling algae and it won't seem to get better. I took apart my filter (Quad DE 100) and cleaned it and recharged it a week or two ago and thought pool was good. But the algae is back. Mainly on the sides of the pool.
Should I lower CYA by replacing approx 45% of the pool water as TFP Pool Math suggest? I've not done that yet ( 2 year old pool) so I'm a bit leery.
Previous readings from TexSun said CYA was at least 151+ but after a hard rain they said it fell to 40. They said CYA sits in the top layer of the water and it drains out the overflow, and they suggested putting a hose at the bottom of the pool to push the CYA out of the overflow like a big rain would do. Not sure if I believe them or not, which caused me to get the TFT 100.
