Hi folks.
I am a little baffled here as this has NEVER been an issue with my pool before, but my CYA levels are WELL below the minimum levels.
I live on Long Island, NY here in the northeast, which had a pretty wet late winter and most of the spring, so perhaps the large amount of water that was pumped to keep my pool from overflowing (mesh cover) had something to do with this issue. Am I completely off base as to the origin of the issue?
Regardless, I need to add this to allow my chlorine to stay in my pool long enough to keep algae blooms from forming.
All of my other levels are within norms, save for the chlorine levels which are linked to the massive lack of CYA, so I am assuming hitting it with 8-10 lbs for my 25,000 gallon pool will at least help.
I have another question regarding the SLAM. I believe it is best to get the pool CYA up to 30-40 BEFORE starting the SLAM. Is this the correct approach?
Thank you!
