I had a pool guy that was using pucks and my CYA went up to 78 (per a test at Leslies). I let him go and I'm doing it myself using liquid chlorine. My problem is the day I had Leslies test my water they said my TA was 48 (adjusted because of the CYA) My other readings were Free Chlorine 5.27. PH 8. Total Alk 48 (adjusted due to CYA) They had me increase TA and decrease PH which I did. OK - so now I test daily. My chlorine is usually around 4.5 in the morning and I add about 24 oz of liquid chlorine. My PH seems to always raise to 8.0 - I add 9 oz MA and the next day it will be 7.8, but then the second day goes back to 8.0 again. My TA is 80. My CYA is still 78-80 (hard to tell with the taylor kit - that little dot drives me crazy). I don't understand why I have to keep adding Muriatic Acid. I live in Tucson (hot and sunny) - it's been extremely windy for weeks - I have a new Stonescapes surface (January 2023). Do any of these affect the PH? Are my other readings OK? In the booklet with the Taylor test kit there is a Table relating to CYA correction to Total Alk. but I don't understand it. Like I said I need HELP!!!
