I am in a running battle with my pool service person.
He ignores CYA levels and instead tries to treat problems by doing the following:
1. Algeacide
2. Pool Clarifier
3. Reduction of phosphates.
and who knows what else.
On testing with my test kit I get:
FAC 4
CC 0
Ch 276
Cya 140 Confirmed by pool store test
TA 110
Pho 0
The pool shows slight algae buildup in a few shady areas.
The water is not crystal.
I know I have to drain the pool for the second time, after last drain CYA was 20, he added enough to get to 140.
He does not understand.
It seems he is controlling the algae for the most part, but I think that we are not killing bacteria etc. because of the CYA Chlorine ratio.
Am I right? The fact there are no CC's and there is algae makes me think the chlorine is basically ineffective at this level.
