CYA Level for All Day Sun

[EddieO]

I'm putting almost a gallon of bleach in my pool everyday. CYA is 60. My pool gets 8-9 hours of sun.
I would like to add less bleach daily.
Is there any benefits to increasing CYA to 70 or 80?

Some. You will need to run your FC higher (6-9) but should use less. I think it is about a wash.

More importantly, you should first do an OCLT to make sure you have no algae.......that's what may be the cause of your chlorine consumption.

I just did overnight test. FC was no loss. CC is 1.0.
Maybe I'll shock the pool since CC is 1.0. Other wise, the water is very clear.

You don't use a cover do you? If not, I would agree that you should increase that FC level today. The elevated CC might just be related to the fact that it's early and the sun hasn't had a chance to burn it off yet. You might confirm that later today.

If all is well, then sure, take the CYA up to 70 and see how that works for you.
