The owners manual for my Aqua Rite salt water chlorine generator says to maintain CYA at 60-80 (80 being ideal). Is there a particular reason this higher level is required? Would maintaining the lower level you suggested (40-50) have any negative affect on my SWCG (shortened cell life, etc??)?

Thanks.
