I live in the Phoenix metro area and I wonder how other owners in this or similar areas keep their pools sanitized, mainly between liquid chlorine and trichlor tabs. The service company that I was using to maintain my pool only used trichlor and it seems that a lot of people that I talk to in this area do the same. If using trichlor tabs how high do you let your CYA go? If you use liquid chlorine how often are you adding it to the pool in the summer months? Here are my latest results from my K2006 TK.
Free Chlorine: 4
Combined Chlorine: 0
PH: 8
Carbonate Alkalinity: 67 [67=125(TA)-(0.36x160)]
CYA: 160
Calcium Hardness: 225
I am out of chlorine tabs in my floater so I do need to add something soon. By the way, last week (8/20/19) my free chlorine was 9.8 so I am assuming that I am loosing about 1ppm of free cholrine per day. I would appreciate the help.
