Hello all, I'm new to the board and fairly new to pool care. I've already learned a lot by reading different threads on this board. Thanks y'all!
My problem is green algae. We treated for that a couple weeks ago and thought we'd solved the problem only to discover it keeps coming back. Finally had time to research and investigate further and have come to the conclusion that our problem is due to very high CYA (above 100) likely a result of the trichloro tablets we use in our automatic system, but not 100% sure.
So my question is, is the Taylor CYA test reliable enough that I should be confident in that finding and if so, is my only (or best) option to partially drain and refill the pool?
I hope I've given adequate information, but if not, I'm happy to provide more details.
Thanks in advance!
