It is summer, and here in SW Florida that means a heat index over 110 on some days. I have a ph of 7.3, CYA level of 50 ppm and when I add chlorine, I generally have it at about 5 ppm. The problem is that by the next day, there is 0 available chlorine . At first I suspected an algae bloom, but so far it has been about 2 weeks, and the pool is crystal clear but I am loosing my chlorine everyday. Is this because of the heat? Do I need to raise my CYA level because of the heat? If so, to what and what should I raise the chlorine level to correlate? Or, should I still suspect an algae bloom? Oh, and I am using the BBB method and added CYA with the sock method (not sure if that matters or not. :?: )
