CYA question - CDS

[Corrik]

I have a question regarding this product. So, I was looking for the cheapest chlorine, and Walmart has it for $5.60/g 10% Pool Essesntials. As I looked around though, I found Rural King has a 4 pack of 10% CDS Liquid Chlorinator for $15/4g.

Reading the label on CDS though it says "One of the best options for lowering CYA levels".

I am under the impression chlorine does not lower CYA levels though. Does this product have something in it that causes this? Isn't dumping how you lower levels? Looking for help understanding this.

Thats a good deal on a good product. There is no magic within the bottle that lowers CYA, just good marketing.

I’m guessing it’s just their poorly worded way of saying it doesn’t increase CYA.

Yes. Or you exclusively use chlorine with no CYA added to it and wait for the CYA to come down due to natural degradation, rain overflow or backwashing (if applicable). In the northeast you may see it drop 5 ppm or so a month. Maybe more if one backwashes alot.

But +1 with Saturn. It's marketing magic.
