Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your reply and explanation. 20 ppm per month in 8 months is a 160 bump to the CYA level. That's a lot and I wasn't aware of that. In a way, I was expecting to keep it at bay by backwashing and topping the pool as I've been doing. So thanks for letting me know...

Chris, The volume of the pool is 44,000 litres and I use two pucks, one in each skimmer. They last a lot in the winter and probably about a week now. I’m planning to go and pick cya reagent today and see where we are now since I did vacuum to drain and refill a couple of times.

Thank you for your replies. I know, I know. I'm well aware that I have to lower my CYA level to a reasonable figure. I just need to make go until I have the refills. I'm just surprised that the pucks added so much CYA during the winter. The only solution is to drain part of the pool and refill...

Yeah, I discovered that (reading around here) at mid SLAM. I could have saved some precious drops! :LOL:

Thanks kimkats! Just this morning I run out of the R-0871 reagent and the replacement will arrive on Monday, so I'll have to do a little bit of guessing this weekend. I will open a thread in the right forum soon!
