I just tested my water today (Taylor 2006 kit), and my CYA reading is baffling me. I couldn't get any reading. It was basically clear when the vial was full. Now last summer I had added a bunch of CYA and it tested around 50 or so. I double checked with the pool store, and they also didn't see any CYA. So my question is, where did the CYA go? It's my understanding that the only way to get rid of it was to replace water.
We had a wet winter here in Northern California, but it wasn't due to rain dilution as I have a safety cover and use a cover pump to remove the rain off it. The pool store suggested I might have a leak, but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that in my water bill. Besides, my salt level hasn't gone down much (3300 to 3200). If my water was heavily diluted then I'd expect low salt levels as well. Anyone have any ideas?
