    Organic vs. Metal Stain (Help Needed)

The well water does not. No idea how that happened...I have no heating elements in my pool. The PH was...

    The CYA for our pool is currently 90. Our pool is in 14 hours of direct sunlight a day. Is this too much CYA or the appropriate amount? I have found sources online that state if your pool is in direct sunlight, you should maintain CYA levels of 80-100.
