We had our pool finished in November. The builder sold her on the system we have (3" tabs and the Zodiac Duoclear mineral cartridge) telling us that we can keep the FC at around .5ppm safely. We are now 8 months in and CYA is at 116 (according to pool store since I can't test that high) my Taylor kit definitely shows over 100. I want to do a partial drain to get the CYA in line and then start with liquid bleach to make sure it doesn't get out of control again, but she doesn't want to have strong smell of chlorine with the pool. She freaks out anytime I bring up chlorine, with her wanting less in the pool. If I get the CYA in line (around 40) it says 5-7 is target. How much chlorine smell do you all get with that, will it be noticeably different to her? We have yet to have any algae at all, even with low levels, but I don't want to be draining every 8 months to keep in line. I understand the benefits of proper levels and how they all work together, but I don't know how to get her on the same page. Please help.
