Seems like higher CYA levels (100 or more) would significantly reduce the amount of chlorine loss due to sunlight, hence making the frequency of adding chlorine conveniently less.
I understand that if you develop algae, you'll require much higher amounts of chlorine to shock the pool, but other than that, what's so bad about having higher CYA levels if you test your pool everyday and keep up with chlorine levels?
My pool CYA level is 140 which I've been trying to lower, but now I'm questioning if that is that important, as I've only needed to add chlorine maybe once every 5-7 days despite direct sunlight on the pool.
