Hi, Ted,

Very nice rant!!! I have a feeling if our paths cross we may consume multiple adult beverages and enjoy each one!!

Let me pass on my take on that high CYA level for SWG's. (I didn't think of it...it was an explanation I saw somewhere and it made some sense)

The idea is that when the pool water momentarily passes the cell, it is super chlorinated (shock). Because it is "nuked", it can then pass on into the main pool body as pristine water and, in that body, it is fine to hold only 1 or 1.5ppm residual just because it got nuked. Therefore, the CYA can be up 80-100 holding onto that 1 or 1.5 as long as possible 'cause the cell is gonna' nuke it again when it passes through.

That may be complete horse pucky but it sorta' made sense to this dumb ole' country boy.

Hell, I still think "wrasslin'" is real so I wouldn't take me as any reliable resource
