Hi all,
New to TFP..... great website lots of information.
Quick question about CYA. I setup a summer escape pool made by genfoam inc. for my child on the back patio. 8' round by 3 foot deep .... 528 gallons run the filter 24/7.
I'm using a simple HTH test Kit:
FC- .5ppm
PH- 7.6
TA-130 ppm
Ch-50 ppm
CYA-0 ppm
I live in Palmdale,CA and the temps has been from 97 to 110 degrees!!
I'm adding 2oz of sodium hypo every 2 hrs. to keep fc @ 1.6 ppm
and this is nuts!!! If I add some cyanuric acid,I guess this will lock the free chlor molecules to the acid molecules, so the UV ray will not burn off the free chlor. Then what happens, wait till the sun goes down for the cyanuric acid molecules to release the FC to do its job? I understand the CYA trade-off.
What should I buy or do?
Any help appreciated, Ken
