Thanks to Everyone who helped answer my earlier question about Shock. Appreciate the help. Those answers led me to purchasing the TF-100 Test Kit. I have a 15,000 Gallon Freshwater Pool here in Arizona. Water looks great by the way.
I started with the basic tests and I do have Chlorine present and my PH is at 7.6. I've always fought a High CYA here in AZ. The local pool stores have me floating 3 Chlorine Tabs and I add Liquid Chlorine as necessary. I always plan on doing a partial drain during the winter to help bring down the CYA. My CYA is currently at 70.
I'm now ready to start doing things your way and following your advice.
Questions:
1) Should I start by lowering the CYA?
2) If the answer is Yes, I'm assuming that I should drain about 1/4 of the water....Correct?
3) I refill my pool with my Front Hose Bib which is NOT connected to my home's Water Softener.
4) However, my Pool's Automatic Leveler is connected to my Rear Hose Bib which IS connected to my home's Water Softener...Is that an issue?
I'll start here and I look forward to your replies and guidance. Thanks in advance.
