Hello,
My CYA dropped significantly last week because I had to drain a total of about 18” of water from my pool due to extremely high amounts of rainfall. I added about 4 lbs which according to pool math should have put the CYA at about 80-90 ppm max. I tested today and the CYA could be at 100 or beyond. I tried to do a CYA dilution test with 1:1 tap water to pool water ratio and I think it’s probably right around 100 or maybe a touch higher. I have a swg. As long as I keep the FC around the high end of the acceptable amount for 100ppm CYA will that be ok until I have to either backwash or drain? Or should I backwash and drain now recognizing that the CYA is a little too high. The reason I don’t want to drain right now is because I just added some other stuff ie calcium hardness increaser that I don’t want to drain out. Thanks!
