Opened the pool. Had initial high chlorine usage. (Couldn't keep FC overnight.)
Was waiting for chemicals. Just tested the CYA levels, and they exceed the 100ppm max of both my test kits. We had this issue last year, which is when I switched to liquid chlorine...period. I knocked the CYA down then, but not far enough apparently. No more pucks or dichlor for this guy!
PH 7.4
TA 180 (high)
FC 2
CC high (I quit adding drops at some point, since I knew I had issues)
CYA 100+ off scale
18000 gallon, in-ground.
I'm assuming drain and refill is my best option. Vinyl liner, so I'll take it down about 30-50% refill, mix it up and do again.
I know each time, I am getting less bang for my buck percentage wise, but need to knock it down somehow.
Thoughts???
Thanks!
