1st post.
I recently (2 months) purchased a house with a salt water pool. 23000 gallon in ground plaster pool. My water looks great and I'm slowly getting the hang of my chemicals.
The local pool store I go to has been telling me my CYA levels are low at 55 and want me in the 60-80 range and selling me liquid CYA. I realized that granulated is WAY cheaper and am moving towards this route. My Chlorine level is a little high and I have been turning down my Chlorine generator a bit each week to try to get to a ideal level.
My understanding is that CYA helps your Chlorine to stay longer in the pool. If my Chlorine levels are high why exactly would I need more CYA to maintain my Chlorine???
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
