So we opened the new pool in the last couple of weeks, and so far the water has been ultra clear by me measuring TCs daily and adding trichlor tabs that came with the pool when the TC level gets low.
First tests with my new TF-100 show everything being close to recommended values, except CYA which is extremely low. I can still see the dot with the tube filled all the way. It's milky white and almost not visible, but I still see it. The PB added a whole tub of stabilizer at opening, but apparently this wasn't enough.
So my question is, I have a whole tub of trichlor tabs which the PB supplied in the deal, so should I continue using those and keep an eye on CYA as it raises, or should I get the CYA level up now, and use liquid chlorine, reserving the trichlor for vacations, etc? I'm currenty adding a tab every 2-3 days.
