Hi all,
Due to our CYA count going through the roof, we've switched over from 3" pucks to bleach. Have my Taylor kit we've been using for over a month now, #s are looking good, can supply if needed.
My comment/question is that we are using large quantities of bleach to maintain 4ppm of FC (CYA now at 40), i.e. 3 gallons of 8.25%/day. At least to us it seems like a lot, i.e. recycling bin overflowing with bleach bottles :-)
Is this a normal amount? Using the pucks we'd go the entire summer on one big bucket, say $85. With bleach, 3gal day @ ~ $3.99 gal of 8.25%, we're way over puck usage, in terms of dollars, in less than a month's time.
Comments appreciated
