I run an intentionally high CYA, so I don't have to add bleach daily--but I do have to maintain a higher baseline level than everybody else. Still ends up using less chlorine with high CYA in my climate.

What is your CYA level and what is your climate? When I ran my CYA in the 70's and 80's I still had to put bleach in the pool daily (96oz). I'm in Alabama where we have 90 degree summer days and I get full sun on my pool so I'm curious to know what your climate is like.
