I'm definitely realizing that. My CYA is already at 60. If I'm doing the math correctly (now using PoolMath), along with 2 pucks, I need about 60oz of LC per day to maintain proper levels. And then that will continue to increase over time as the CYA ultimately increases. Eesh.

Awesome, thank you!

So I had a follow up to this question, if anyone is able to help answer: I put 2 pucks in the chlorinator, at a setting of 3 (out of 5), and it lasted me 8 days (approximately 104 running pump hours). Is there any way to back into how much chlorine and CYA these 2 pucks added to my pool on...

Thank you for the response!

Just got my first 100% score at Leslie’s on my chemical test (I have ordered the recommended test kit, but it’s not in yet). Scores: FC: 2.87 Total C: 2.87 pH: 7.7 TA: 83 CH: 246 CYA: 72 Iron: 0 Copper: 0 Phosphates: 22 TDs: 600 From reading on here, given my CYA is 72, shouldn’t my FC be...

Thanks!

I'll have to get the exact model when I get home. Dont see it on the documents I have.

I have a variable pump system and have been running the same schedule since the pool builder installed it, at his advice: From 9am-5pm @ 2200 RPMs From 1am - 5am @ 2850 RPMs (this was added because I get free nights with my electric provider) The pool is only 8k gallons. Not sure if those RPMs...

Hello all. Been lurking for a while and reading a lot of good info that has helped me as a new pool owner. I had a general question about chlorine pucks and automatic chlorinators (and yes, I have read plenty on how these are not preferred, can raise CYA, etc. However, that is not the intent...
