In my last go-round with CYA I attempted to raise my level from 60 to 70 by adding 2 lbs. of powdered conditioner and a week later it had gone from 60 to 100. So, I drained about 8,000 gal., refilled and adjusted all the other chemicals first. My CYA level read a pretty solid 50. I picked up some liquid conditioner (monosodium cyanurate monohydrate) from Leslie's and added enough yesterday afternoon to go from 50 to 60 according to the Pool Calc (36 oz.). I shook it up well before adding it to 5 gal. of water and then spread it around the pool. I noticed as I poured it in that it's not entirely a liquid like I thought but relatively fine granules mixed in a carrier. Anyhow, I let it mix in for at least 24+ hours and when I tested it today I still got a reading of 50 ppm. It said "Instant Conditioner" on the jug so I assume there's no waiting several days or a week before I can get an accurate reading. So my question is, does the liquid conditioner read the same way in the CYA test as the powdered variety? Any reason I don't see any increase at all in the CYA level?
Here's my current numbers:
FC = 4.5
CC = 0
pH = 7.4
TA = 70
CH = 300
CYA = 50
Salt = 3280 (strips) or 3600 (drops)
Temp = 70
CSI = -0.57 (is this something to be concerned about?)
Thanks,
Gary
