Question coming from the new guy. I had a new 20,000 gallon plaster pool put in 7 months ago and the guy who did my startup seemed very knowledgeable and said just to keep the pool chemistry very simple, no scale removers, phosphate removers, etc, so that is what I've been doing. I read all the pool school info too, but could still use some help from the experts. I've been using the chlorine pucks, which was probably my first mistake. Now I am trying to make the switch to liquid chlorine. My CYA level really has gone up rapidly in the past few weeks. I believe this to be from the chlorine pucks I've been using. I have an inline feeder and I have been stocking it up with 4-5 tabs at a time to maintain a 3.5 ppm in my pool. My question is that I have been using 3 pints of liquid chlorine daily to maintain the same level now, but this doesn't seem very practical. I'm wondering if the chlorine should be able to last longer or does this have to do with my CYA level?
Also, my PH seems to stay in the proper range longer and does bounce around as much when my TA is 70-80 is this okay?
My chemistry is:
K-2005 Taylor
FC = 3.8
Ph = 7.6
TA = 80
CH = 220
CYA= 100
Thank you
