Hi all,
I just brought a new house with a large AGP and as a first time home owner and a pool owner I was clueless until I started researching and ended up here. The pool currently uses the Frog leap packs which are not only expensive but jack up the CYA levels.
As of now, the pool is sanitized and feels and looks great. The PH is stable as well as the alkalinity however the CYA is higher than I’d like and that’s getting me worried.
I’ve started to pay attention to what products I’m using and making sure I only purchase items which don’t contribute any more CYA into the water.
I’ve also decided to switch to Liquid Chlorine just to keep the CYA under control. Now my question is, can I just purchase any type of liquid chlorine? Are they all CYA-free? Does the brand matter? Is a price of $6.99/gallon good? I have maybe 1.5 months of pool weather left here in NYC.
As for the shock method, I’ve purchased HTH shock treatment from Costco. $60 for a box of 15x1LB units. They are also CYA free.
Thanks everyone for the wealth of knowledge and thanks for replying here.
