Raising CYA?

[koliver13]

Got the CYA down last year to around 80 after converting to bleach and I added bleach almost every night. We had a leak last winter water remained below jets. With the addition of water after fixing the leak CYA is between 30-40. I'm having to add a lot of bleach every night. My pool is in full sun all day. Would it be wise to up the CYA? What would be a better number? I have some old pucks or should I use the sock method?
Do I need to adjust anything else? Is TA and CH too low? Here are my numbers last night before adding bleach
FC 4.0
CC 0
PH 7.5
TA 70
CH 100
CYA 30-40

Thanks for any input.

How much?

9 - 12 cups sometimes more had a lot of rain this last week

AT 9 to 12 cups you're only adding 1.5 to 2 ppm per day. I'd say that's pretty normal.
You can raise it up to 50 ppm but I don't think it's going to help you very much and I wouldn't go much higher than that.

I lose 3-4 ppm per day in full sun when it heats up with CYA of 50ish as a reference for you. Averaging about 2ppm right now. But that's gonna change! Water temp is around 75 lately.

Thanks, I'll leave it for now and see what happens when it warms up.
