Best CYA Level for Lots of Sun - Location Hawaii

[smallpooldad]

With CYA now at 50 ppm, CL is dropping from 5-3 over 24 hour period. This requires 40 oz bleach a day or 2gals and 24 oz a week. I am planning on raising it to 60 ppm to see if that further reduces the chlorine need. At that point I will not raise it any higher.

Add 8 oz a day of muriatic acid to keep the pH at 7.3-7.4 for iron stain control.

Will advise on results.

Boy that's ridiculous. If I were you, I'd trade my house and pool even for one in say, middle Tennessee and let that poor sap deal with it......
Interesting enough, I have raised my CYA to 50 as well and have noticed identical FC loss as you, about 2 ppm a day on a cloudless day. This surprises me as I thought the UV degradation would be slightly higher at the lower latitude. Let us know how 60 works for you.
