Aha - I guess I never made it down that far. Thanks.

That should be less than 30.

Normally chlorinate using liquid bleach. Target CYA would be within the normal range, which looks to be 30-60.

Hello all - I used the TFP method and testing last summer after a friend recommended this place with great success. This year, after a lot of rain and evaporation, it seems like my CYA level has dropped from the 60's last year to at least under 30 this year. All numbers are below. Question -...
