Since I found TroubleFree for pool help AND drained 80% of my 5 year old water and replaced...pool is back to beautiful. Now comes the fun part of learning the better way to balance that this website is teaching me.....
Guess I dumped out too much of my CYA 200 water in my 24,000 gallon/Tucson AZ/cartridge filter pool...test I just took after letting the water settle and circulate with nothing but lots of liquid 12% chlorine is CYA of 5. So....
I need to raise the CYA so I'm not adding 2 gallons of chlorine every day in 95 degree weather...but I have already spent so much $$$ between hockey puck chlorine at Leslies and the pool refill...spending more for adding CYA seems like major insult to injury...so...I would like to use my full 35lbs of triclor pucks up to raise CYA. I must have missed it, but I've looked high and low for a calculator to let me know exactly how much CYA each puck releases so I hit the sweet spot low end and go no higher with CYA. I have an auto chlorine dispenser, so I loaded it up with 10 tabs along with some additional 12% liquid..FC is over 5, but I suspect that will be back to zero by tomorrow with as warm as it is until I get the CYA nudged up....
Long story to get to: How many pucks total to get a good low end CYA?
