Hi - my first post of the year, LOL...
I've been thinking about getting a offline chlorinator (installing it myself) for a year now.
I don't think the installation will be hard, but what I am struggling to understand is how do you think about your CYA levels when using the 3" pucks. A few years ago, my first year with the pool, I was using the pucks and as the season went on my CYA levels kept going up and up and up, to the point where I was over 100 (iirc). So wondering if I use the pucks in an offline chlorinator, won't I run into the same issue. After my first experience, I think switched to a mix of liquid chlorine and shock - which i don't think were then adding any cyanuric acid.
I'm not ready to switch to salt yet, but definitely want to be able to leave my pool for a week and not worry about the chlorine levels dropping too low.
Thanks.
