Cloudy water fight...& losing

Okay. I will try what you've suggested. I do have a test kit, but not the Taylor. I did have to dilute for my chlorine test to get a result of 10.
I think my CYA was actually less than 100, wasn't quite sure when to stop.
So, you can't lower your CYA once it's high?

You have to drain (at least partially) and dilute with fresh water to lower it. Same with salt as I understand it.

Okay, that makes sense. Hopefully then when I wanted to add a 'little bit' of water tonight & forgot to turn the hose off and it was running out over the sides, it will go down a little!
