Hi,
I am tinkering with a method of removing CYA without draining. It is different than the current methods, such as RO and microbes. I am not in the pool business, but I do own a pool and have a good background in the appropriate water chemistry. I was wondering if anyone had any data available, or could point me to a source, for actual, measured CYA levels in residential pools. I live in San Diego, so I am most interested in this area, but other area data would be helpful too.k San Diego water costs are very high, so draining a pool even partially is financially hurtful. I just want to get a handle on the typical levels of CYA in pools with too much CYA. I see reports of 300 PPM once in a while, but I am more interested in typical levels of CYA where pool owners want to reduce it. Even anecdotal comments would be helpful. Also, if there are pool pros reading, I am curious as to what approximate percent of pools they believe are too high in CYA. Thank you.
