Hello all!
CYA was a bit on the low side, so I went to my local Leslies to buy CYA. I was opting for the solid (cheaper, right?), but the 2 guys there tried to convince me that liquid was a better idea. Their rationale: solid CYA in the skimmer (even if in a sock) would make the environment to acidic and would eat into the SWG cell life by damaging the plates, but liquid would already be diluted/easier on the cell.
Apparently this is "new" industry advise and the incremental cost of liquid vs. solid would pay off in longer cell life. In my search today, I saw nothing to indicate that this was a valid argument. I'm willing to bet someone will debunk this and validate my purchase of solid CYA.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Happy TG!
