One week in with the new pool and we are trying to get it right. We are working on getting the TA down and have made good progress, went from 290 to 180!
Right now the CYA is at 30 and we are losing between 3-4 ppm chlorine per day. Does it make sense to get the CYA up to 40 to try to prevent chlorine loss now? I was holding off thinking we would use the trichlor puck when we go away next weekend but it’s only 2 days so I think bumping up to shock chlorine level before leaving should be okay. I don’t want to have to buy trichlor for this one time.
Most recent test results from last night:
Chlorine 2 (before adding chlorine for day)
CC 0
Ph 7.2
TA 180
CYA 30
