Bought a pool, CYA > 200

Well that's good for waiting overnightw/CYA of 40!
Currently at CYA of 30, which is amazing!
Not sure if I would say CYA of 30 is amazing.
CYA is not the devil. Too much of a good thing issues more like.
Keep in mind that CYA properly managed is the only way to keep Cl- in a pool for any reasonable length of time and also makes the Cl- less harsh.
Depending on the pools sun exposure you may want to increase it closer to 40. Personally I am in a southern state and full sun so I added to 50 ppm.

Amazing considering it was >200 and I was thinking that I would only get it down to 60. My pool gets exposure to direct sunlight for 6 hours. I’m not sure what my target CYA should be yet.
Dont get me wrong, Well Done!
You just had, had some sticker shock about FC dropping quickly earlier and the only easy way to prevent that is CYA (well unless you want to keep your pool covered when not in use).

Bought a pool, CYA > 200
Passed the OCLT last night with a loss of 1.

Today’s testing currently
FC 10.5
CC 0.5
pH 7.5
TA 130
CH 0? (It turned blue immediately)
CYA 30
When can we swim? Wait for target 4-6 FC?

Yes from what I understand it is safe to swim at shock level and under. For CYA of 30 that is FC of 12. If you accidentally go over 12, wait for it to come down before swimming. There is also a slight risk of bleaching swimsuits at shock level but otherwise safe to swim.
The water feels like “silky” or “slimy” but not in a bad way. Is this because of the CH? Or the TA being high? Or both?
Yes the low CH, that's a good thing
Is this the same thing as “soft” water?
