I just opened our outdoor pool, roughly 30,000 gallons in New York. I'm using the Taylor test kit and my CYA readings are below 30. I have a in-line chlorinator using 3" pucks. I realize my CYA is low but nervous to bring my CYA up too high knowing that it will slowly increase over time with the pucks and no way to lower other than replacing water. I only ran the 3" pucks last year, I'm not sure what the previous owner did as I added the in-line chlorinator.
Is it worth raising my CYA up or should I test it mid-year to see where I stand?
Other test results:
PH 7.5
Alk 80
Hardness 210
CYA < 30
Chlorine ~ 2 but shocked it yesterday and it's slowly increasing as the pool warms up
Thanks for your input,
Steve
