Hello! New pool/home owner. Have worked hard to get up to speed and thought season was going well but I now realize our pool needs major adjustments to chemistry. Pool has been crystal clear so I thought that was a good indication of all going well.
My CYA has started to climb and I’m realizing I’m not keeping chlorine at appropriate levels for the higher CYA. I also need to switch to liquid chlorine to stop the CYA from increasing. My CC is also high. Im working on going through the articles to get this corrected.
My questions:
- everything has warning labels saying to keep chlorine levels below 4 ppm. But the articles on here say it should be much much higher. That is safe??
- my kids keep getting swimmer’s ear. Is that bc my CC is too high and even though the water is clear it’s actually gross? Ugh it’s making me sick just typing that.
Thank you for any help you’re able to offer.
