So me and my wife bought this house 6 months ago and it came with our first pool. After listening to leslies for 6 months and getting no where is when I found this site and have not been back to leslies. The previous owner was using tri chlor pucks and di chlor shock so I naturally started using the same method. I have recently switched to the bbb and testing myself. As of now my pool is clean and clear but I know I have issues with my ch and cya and I know the only sure way to lower them is to drain and fill. I was hoping that with the insane evaporation (about an inch a day during summer months) I could just let it evaporate and refill to lower cya and ch or am I just crazy to try and maintain a pool with that high of levels. I have also read testing ph above 10ppm fc is inaccurate but does that hold true with high cya ?
Thank you all again for you have turned my nightmare of a first pool experience into a great first pool experience.
