I recently converted my pool to a salt cell. After getting the pool chemistry balanced and having the salt cell run for a couple of weeks, I decided to try the super-chlorinate feature on the salt cell. The chlorine level stayed very high for a several days, so I thought I had created a chlorine lock situation and put some chlorine shock in the pool to see if that would break the chlorine lock. Now, five days later, my chlorine reading is still off the charts. My local pool store's test computer recommends 80-150 CYA. The Pentair instructions recommend 30-50 CYA. Is it reasonable to assume that's my problem?
If so, what's the best way to reduce the CYA level? Can it be done without draining/refilling? I live near the water and don’t want to send all that chlorinated water in there if I can avoid it.
I sure appreciate any help.
