Is it possible that over time and a hot summer my CYA could drop to within acceptable ranges in HOT Texas. I am replacing approximately 2 inches of water every couple of days. I would suspect that over the next 3 - 4 mos I will be replacing a significant amount of water. Really dreading the 60% water replacement. Any thoughts?
Evaporation and CYA

Water evaporates. CYA stays behind. Whatever you read now, it will be the same when you top off the water.
Wrong answer Richard. I wanted you to tell me that over the HOT summer months I will essentially be replacing half of the water and therefore lowering my CYA. Maintaining FC at 12 is using quite a bit of bleach but the results have been well worth it.
You will lose CYA with splashed out water...how much of your loss is from evaporation and how much is from use?

Really no way to know I guess. We have been using the pool daily for two weeks since it is brand new. Guess I should quit fussing at the kids for splashing all the water out.
I keep some tablets on hand, and when CYA levels drop a bit, I switch over to bump it back up, then go back to bleach.
