Hi,
New poster here. There's an aspect of the CYA topic that I can't quite understand.
If there is an amount of CYA in the pool, say 30 ppm, then from what I gather, most of the HOCL in the pool will bond to the CYA.
There will be a small residual of HOCL that remains that stays fairly consistent across the pH range up until about 8.3.. ish (?).
My question is, if there is say, 30 ppm of CYA and only say, 3 ppm of FC then why does this residual exist at all? Why doesn't ALL the HOCL bond with the CYA?
I know this doesn't really have too much to do with the day to day running of my pool but I'm just curious.
Thanks
