Trying to raise CYA using Chlor-Brite

[canjones]

I have battled trying to raise my CYA for 2 or 3 years. This summer I decided to buy Chlor Brite (sodium dichloro...). I can't figure out how much to add using the pool calculator. Can anybody help me with this? I've tried all the other methods to raise CYA before.

1 pound of that product will add 3.7 ppm FC and 3.4 ppm CYA to your pool volume.

And 3.4 PPM is not enough right? I need at least 20 PPM?

In your climate I would target 40-50 ppm CYA.

You need to add stabilizer / conditioner to get to at least 30 ppm CYA. Then you can use your dichlor sparingly to get the CYA level to 40-50 ppm. You should use liquid chlorine for your primary sanitizer.
