The title says it all really. How often do you folks test your CYA levels?
My solar cover deteriorated and since then it’s been burning through FC. I was anticipating it using more than usual, but it’s going through a lot. I have no CC, ph is 7.5 and the water looks great, so I was scratching my head trying to figure out what was going on.
I then measured CYA and couldn’t get a reading - which is obviously my problem.
Yesterday I added enough CYA to get me to 45ppm (thank you pool math) and will test again tomorrow to see where we’re at. I also added a generous amount of chlorine under the presumption we’d be at 45 ppm of CYA pretty soon.
I don’t think I’ve tested the CYA since maybe early June. So, how often should I be testing?
