I've been using bleach for several years now. Pool water is clear, no evidence of green. Trying to keep FC 3.5-4; CC always 0-0.5. I find each day it drops from 4.0 down to 2.5 by evening. Based on pool calculator, I add 42 oz. of 10% bleach each night. Last spring I drained about half our water because of high hardness; we are in a drought, and can't replace water very often. In the process my CYA dropped way down to near zero. I added liquid conditioner, cautiously, trying for a CYA of about 30-35.
The CYA, by the disappearing dot test, is around 30+. So, should I try to raise it up to 35, and maybe have less daily chlorine loss, or should I leave it as is, and keep adding 42 oz. of bleach each night?
Many thanks.
