After having a small 7,000-gallon fiberglass in-ground pool for a year and being sold a bill of (expensive) goods by Leslie's when I first opened the pool, I am still left with SUCH frustration over ONE thing: cyanuric acid! I've had to partially drain/refill my pool three times already due to CYA being too high. WHY don't places like Leslie's tell you that there are OTHER ways to add chlorine besides stabilized tablets? Why do tabs contain so much CYA? It's infuriating.
I am at my wit's end trying to find a way to keep the CYA in my pool from rising. I'm experimenting with liquid chlorine, and with keeping stabilized tablets to a minimum in the pool. (Leslie's told me initially to fill the tab feeder all the way to the top!) I just discovered there are NON-stablized tablets on the market, hard to find but just ordered a bucketful.
Does anyone have an idea of exactly what I should be doing to chlorinate my pool with only the minimum CYA being added? I've looked high and low and can't find a definite answer. I'm flying blind trying all different combinations of CYA and non-CYA options.
