Hi, I have a question about the CYA test. When I go my new house the CYA was 50/60. It is an SWG pool. I tried to raise it to 70 to start so I don't overshoot it so I added 2 lbs cya in a sock in the skimmer. I finally tested it at 70 about 24-48 hours after adding. Now a week later when I test I'm lucky to get 50. I tried the standard 50 sample and I get near 50 every time. I have had to add about and inch or 2 of water since adding the CYA. I have also add a ton of calcium to increase that from under 200, can that take away CYA or is something consuming CYA or should I add more?
Numbers as of last night:
FC - 9
CC - 0
pH - 7.5
CYA - 50/60?
TA - 100
CH - 375
