I am using about a half a gallon a day of chlorine in a 20,000 gallon pool. Temps are around 90-100 degrees. Cyanuric acid is about 30. This seems like a lot chlorine, I was wondering if this is about right?
I'm surprised that is all you are using, with temps that high. I am using 1/2 gal right now and the thermometer has yet to hit 90 in the Northeast (Close but not yet and certainly not consistently).I am using about a half a gallon a day of chlorine in a 20,000 gallon pool.

It would be better for you to look at this as how many ppm you are adding. In a 20K gallon pool, 68oz equates to:I am using about a half a gallon a day of chlorine in a 20,000 gallon pool.

i bought the total kit from this site, but have not started using it yet. I have just been taking samples into the store and using a simple kit I got a Walmart to test the chlorine daily. The pool does get full sun all day. (Fresno, CA) I have a CYA of 30 ppm and would like to use as little chlorine as possible.
In order to keep my chlorine in the proper range, (1-5 ppm) it seems like i have to add daily. I was wondering how pool guys are able to add just once a week.
With a CYA of 30 ppm your minimum FC level is 2 ppm, with a target of 4 ppm (CHLORINE/CYA CHART)i bought the total kit from this site, but have not started using it yet.
