Automatic chlorinator installation

, located in a dry hot desert climate that gets 12+ hours of direct sunlight per day. At the time I maintained the CYA between 25 and 35. ,

My question is why? In those condition your CYA should be no lower than 50 ppm if not higher. No wonder you had to add chlorine so often. You did not have your water properly balanced for your climatic conditions.
