Hi Guys! First post here and highly suggested.
A technical question without getting to crazy?
My Free and Total chlorine was around 14ppm back 3 weeks ago, today they are around 10 ppm
My CYA is 128 ppm. All other chems are in range.
Was getting algae even after shocking.
No surpirse? my 3" pucks that was adding stabilizer so I stopped my in line hayward chlorinator.
I dropped in a PoolRX to help with the algae while I pounder the CYA issue.. Holy smokes, no more algae for real.
My 22k gallon pool is crystal clear.
I haven't added any chlorine / shock in almost 3 weeks. My chlorine levels have dropped ever so slightly over this time.
Stupid question but here goes. What is the harm in this setup?
I did see in a forum here that if chlorine is within 40% of your cya then perhaps your ok.
I have the CYA reducer "BIO-ACTIVE" ready to go, but now I'm wondering why not continue with this setup?
If the CYA is slowly releasing my chlorine and my pool is crystal clear, what is the harm in this setup?
- 18x32 20k inground
- Hayward cholonator(previously used 3” 99% trichloro pucks)
- Hayward de filter 65a (changed de 2x since opened in June)
- 1 return, 1 inlet
- vinyl liner
- northeast (Boston area)
