I use bleach and a Taylor kit for my pool. It is 24 feet around. The pool is clear. The CYA was 5 when I opened the pool. I added 3.5 pounds of stabilizer. I like to keep my cya at 40. My pool gets direct sunlight all day. My Taylor kit is reading the CYA at 30. My local pool store, which just got a new computer for testing, is reading my CYA at 50. Which measurement do I go with so I know how much bleach to add each day? I was thinking of splitting it down the middle and using 40 as my CYA. Thoughts? Advice?

We at TFP, will use your data. We do not provide guidance based on pool store tests.
You can use whatever you like. We suggest you use your own testing. Do the test again in a couple days. Be sure it is a bright sunny day. Back to the sun, vial at your waist, glance for the dot.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.
