it seems to me like there are a ton of issues with CYA

No autofill for me and I haven't had to add much water given the lousy weather.
Hey, I needed a CYA kit refill, so I ordered the 50ppm Standard. (They give way too much of it, as for training a single sample is adequate.)
As I suspected, the 50ppm Standard reads 40ppm by my eye, and in order to get the dot ABSOLUTELY obscured, it reads only 30ppm.
Granted the scale is logarithmic, and so smaller ppms will be less accurate than larger ones.
I added the required 70oz of stabilizer this week (2 very full sock loads), and hastened the distribution by kneading it in the sock while moving around in the pool.
Hope to see 70ppm by my eye later in the weekend.

Well, my test now reads 50, which I trust is actually 70, since the Standard also read 20 down by my eye.
Proof is in the pudding, though. My chlorine levels are WAY up. I keep turning down the salt generator (was 88%, now 50%) and my chlorine level is still a higher than ever 6.5.
So CYA works, but you MUST use the granular variety to get any results.

On it's face, that logic does not compute. Why would a company make something that doesn't work?
