I started last summer and in my climate and sun I was using approx. 1/2 gal of 10 percent bleach every day with 50-60 CYA. Once it cooled down I let the CYA drift down and started only adding 1/2 gal every 3-4 days. This kept my levels good. Now (in Houston) we are just starting to see temps consistently in the low 80s and I am wondering when I need to go back to summer chlorine addition and bump up CYA? When/how do you guys gauge that? Is it a temperature or do you gauge CH usage? I have a tiny bit of algae in my waterfall rock, which is always a troublesome spot anyway. Some of those spots are near impossible to clean. Other than that the pool is clear. I added CH sunday so I was going to check my water tomorrow and see what I've lost. I was considering doing a SLAM and then going back to 1/2gal a day here shortly, just don't want to do it too soon since it is 4x the bleach usage. Any thoughts?
