Yeah I will see how CYA level goes then decide if I want to replace some of the water. I also measured calcium hardness at 310 which is close to the top of the range and that too requires dumping and refilling some of the water as I understand it.

Sorry, I confused low pH with high TA. I ordered soda ash for low pH which was at 7.0. I will retest all again after getting ph to somewhere in the acceptable range.

Quick update. I retested , couple of times, diluted amount. I got 90. So I tested the standard amount again , got about 90 as well. I added more Chlorine and tested (diluted) one more time after a few hours got 90 again. So high but not crazy high. Water is looking better. So I will keep an eye...

Thanks for the info Gary. The liquid chlorine I am using is also from WM. Also 1 gallon, it says " "Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid for Swimming Pools, 1 Gallon" Cost for me was $5.67 each. I think I will pick up more. No more pucks! Edit: more details: Sodium hypochlorite: 10% Other...

Thank you again for all the replies. I tested again, looks like CYA is actually around 90. Still high but I was worried it may be 200 or something. Today the water is clearest it has been since I opened the cover and discovered cloudy pool at the weekend. FC had fallen to 0.5 so I added more...

Thank you all for the replies. It has been raining here so I have not had a chance to re-test. I want to add that my pool is covered (which is closed most of the time). So not going to evaporate or get rain water to dilute much. I am beginning to accept the fact that I will have to replace...

Hi all, per my tests with Taylor kit I have CYA above 100 :confused: I will be doing more tests to get a more accurate amount. But in the mean time I stopped using the stabilized chlorine tablets to not increase it any further. I am using liquid chlorine for now. The pool looks green and not as...

Thank you! Yes I will be doing that soon to get a more accurate result as the test I did with the Taylor kit was off the charts so to speak.

Hi all, this is Frank from California Central Coast. Just bought a property with a pool and learning to take care of it. I think I may have a high CYA issue (Taylor kit test shows above 100 but not sure if it is 150 or 200 yet). I will post about that separately. Anyhow just saying hello to you...
