Thought I passed all three tests for the slam. Water was clear, but I didn't maintain the chlorine high enough to keep it away with that crazy CYA level.

Well, I did the partial drain -- I would estimate 60 percent or so. My CYA is still pretty high (70-80), though I remember reading on one thread that it takes a week or so for the CYA level to settle. My new question is this: how accurate is the CYA test with the black dot at the bottom of the...

Yes, I have stopped using pucks and shock powder. I'm a concentrated bleach guy for sure now!

Thanks for the replies. I actually did the SLAM and it has succeeded. I did the CYA test using the dilution method and it is over 200. The PoolMath calculator now recommends an 80 percent drain. Ugh. What is the problem with having high CYA? I'm guessing it means you have to maintain high...

Is a partial drain *really* the only way to reduce a high CYA? Here are my current levels (using the TF 100 Test kit) FC 33, CC 1, TC 33, CH1375, TA 120, CYA 100 I don't have a ton of algae, but have been struggling all summer to get the pool clear (didn't help that pump broke and had to be...
