Low CYA level

[leeC2183]

Good morning,

I have a question about low CYA levels. The past few days my CYA level has gone down below 20 ppm. I have added Bioguard super soluble to increase the CYA but it has had little to no effect on the levels. All my other levels are balanced (aside from slightly elevated FC from the stabilizer) and the water is perfect and clear. Does anyone have experience with super soluble? This is what I was told to add by the pool company. I don’t want to keep adding chemicals and risk raising the CYA level too much.

Super Soluble is granular Chlorine….shock.

Why not just add CYA/Stabilizer?

It is what I was told to use in order to increase CYA

To increase CYA, you simply use CYA (also called stabilizer)

I suggest you read (or re-read) Pool Care Basics Archives

Stay out of the pool stores and get a good test kit.

Which should I buy? TFP's recommended pool chemicals are cheap, easy, and won't unbalance your pool water.

Should have gotten the K-2006.

The K-2005 uses color-matching (DPD) while the K-2006 uses a drop test (FAS-DPD) to determine free, combined, and total chlorine.

Actually the K-2006 C
The "C" has the larger reagent bottles that one needs.

Since OP has a SWG, they will also jeed the K-1766 sat test kit.
Or better yet, they can get a TF-Pro Salt from tftestkits.net
