Pool water is great now except for a CYA level of 100, it is 33K gallons , can I top it off with fresh water till the top of of the pool . that would give me about 6-7 inches of fresh water , and then wait a couple of hours for it to circulate then pump out till bottom of skimmer and then refill, if I do that a few times will I eventually get the CYA level down ?? I don't want the watrer to drop to much and damage the liner ? THANKS
How do I lower my CYA

you have to replace water. how you do it is your choice, but you're going to have to do half of the water to get it down to 50. I manage mine at 70 if you would rather stop sooner. you just run a bit higher fc level per the chlorine/cya chart.
It's usually safe for most pools to drain down 1 foot, refill, retest, repeat if necessary.

Yep, that's probably the best way to go and it is how I did mine when my CH was through the roof. It takes more water that way but you don't have to worry about hurting things.
