First of all, thank you for BBB method. It works great and my wallet thanks you.
My pool guy tested the pool and recommended we start using un-stabilized chlorine as CYA is at 100 now. Pool is in-ground around 26K gallons and had no real issues with it so far (only my second year since we bought the house).
I did have an incident where I learned not to combine stable and un-stable chlorine in same chlorinator. Luckily nobody was hurt besides my ego and neighbours enjoyed the firetrucks...
I have bought 50 lbs of chlor-hypo 3" tablets and it seems that I perhaps should not use them as it makes my pool water foam and milky. Is that normal? What should I use to chlorinate my pool with if not using those tablets? I have not added anymore chlorine/bleach as levels look stable around 5.
My last readings were:
Both chlorine levels at 2 (Leslie's) - my home kit shows 5-10
PH - 7 - 7.2
Alk - 100
CYA - 100
I don't have my complete sheet with me but will update later.
Thanks in advance.
