I had a thread in my build going last season and assumed this was newbie error. This season I'm convinced something else is occurring.
Cya levels middle of May was 35 after adding ~128 oz of dry stabilizer.
This was up from 0 after pool opening.
Added another 3-4 lbs plus a few tabs after I had to replace water due to a waterline tile fix. That was a month ago.
I've felt like I've been fighting chlorine loss pretty rapidly.. testing was yielding sub 20, aka 0.
I was down to the end of my tftkit cya test. Ordered more tested today... 0.
I just added another 0.5-1 lbs which is no where near enough to raise it in my pool, but my bigger concern is where is the cya going?
I thought that could only go down by draining. I didn't drain 16k gallons in June, but I surely added enough to push me closer to 50ppm,based on a 20-30 ppm reading.
Is there another way to kill cya?? Mask it?? Something??
I know tabs are known to raise this, but at this point it may be worth it if my pool mysteriously ingests cya. Thoughts?
