Good evening all! I've been with TFP the past 2 years and this is the most amazing group of people I've ever found in an online forum. Being a new home/pool owner in 2020 and opening to a green swamp was rough, but I was helped in so many ways and the knowledge transfer continues to be amazing. This is why I'm typing this question... I need more knowledge.
I understand that a saltwater pool requires more CYA than a liquid chlorine pool, but I don't understand why. I've converted to salt this year and everything is on track and the pool looks amazing, but I don't understand the why behind the additional CYA. It's easy to use the Pool Math app and make adjustments as necessary, but I'm the type of guy that likes to understand why I'm doing something, not just doing it because the app says so or someone advises me to. If I understand what is happening and why I'm doing it, then it's so much easier to comprehend the balance of my pool's chemistry.
Thanks in advance!
