My test kit came in Saturday. (Baaaaad idea y'all for me to have test kits. I want to test everything every day multiple times a day just to see what's going on!!)
First test 4/13
FC - 0
TC - 1
pH - 8.0
TA - 130
CH - 120
CYA - 0
Salt - 2320
I added:
5lbs trichlor
10lbs stabilizer (CYA)
1 quart muratic acid
8x 40lb bags of salt
And turned the return jets upward to aerate
(Turned the swg off to let salt dissolve)
(I added the CYA in a pair of pantyhose and hung it in front of a return jet. It was completely dissolve from the pantyhose within about 24 hours. )
Second test 4/15
FC - 5
TC - 5
pH - 7.4
TA - 100
CH - 120
CYA - 40
Salt - 3800
So now I'll turn the swg on maybe 20% and monitor TC
Pool calculator is telling me 6 more lbs of CYA to get to 70. At $20 per 5 pounds this stuff is expensive and I'm hoping to not have to add it often!
What causes CYA to deplete and how often should I expect to have to add it?
