Hello!
I'm new to the forum (for my introduction thread, click here). Short version is the pool was opened by the company that serviced it for the previous owners, at which point they dumped in a bunch of BioGuard products. For the past 3-4 weeks I've just been following their instructions which were simply to use 3 of the BioGuard "smart sticks" in the skimmer at a time. I'm aware that those are stabilized chlorine and may lead to elevated CYA.
So now I have finally done my first round of testing with the TF-100:
FC 5.5
CC 0.0
pH 7.2
TA 100
CH 175
CYA 45
The only thing I'm really concerned with at this point is obviously I do not want the CYA to increase any more, so I should probably stop using the stabilized chlorine sticks, right? Will anything cause CYA to decrease in the future? I'd like to use up the rest of the sticks I have (and I will post a list of the rest of the stuff I have to see if I can use it up without causing any issues).
Thanks!!
