Now that it's starting to get warmer here in San Antonio, our pool is just DRINKING bleach like crazy, and I'm wondering if that's normal or I should be supplementing for chlorine levels? Our pool techs that we fired in the past just added the same stuff every week without measuring levels and we had to drain and refill our pool because the CYA was so high, and I'm trying to avoid those levels creeping up by using chlorine pucks, etc...
I added 3 jugs of bleach to my pool earlier this week and I just checked chlorine levels and they were at 0 today. Before it started getting hot out, I was adding like half a jug of bleach to the pool each week. Just curious what other folks' experience is and whether this is normal to need to keep adding more bleach throughout the week and whether there's a most cost-effective method. Adding 5-6 jugs of bleach a week is going to be like $120 per month just in bleach alone.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts / tips / tricks!
