I just opened our 18x9 Intex above ground pool this weekend. It hold 4500 gallons and had fresh water delivered. I added 115 lbs. of salt and the 48 0z of cya yesterday that the pool calculator recommended and it is fully dissolved. I turned the SWG on today to start the chlorinating process and checked all levels. My CYA is at 100 (I did do the diluted test twice to check). My FC is slowly rising as the SWG runs but I know that I have an issue with the CYA being that high. Should I drain water now?
