Hi, I'm hoping someone could comment on my dilemna.
My pool chlorine disippates very rapidly, by morning I usually show hardly any chlorine (using a standard pool chlorine 3 way test kit). I seem to constantly get some algae growing on the side of my pool walls.
The neighborhood pool supply store owner (he also has a pool service) claims that I need to bump my CYA reading to 100 PPM (I'm in southern california, inland) where currently its very hot and sunny.
My CYA reading is about 40 PPM right now..
Some other people in my readings have alluded to Southern California needing 100 PPM CYA, however this statement CYA 100 ppm in southern california) contradicts totally what most forum postings say, basically that too high of a CYA is bad.
Can someone in Southern California tell me if 100 PPM CYA is bad or not?
Thanks very much.
