    I live near Shreveport, and my CYA stays 80-90 ppm (intentionally--my pool gets direct sun all day). I keep Cl level at 7-9 ppm all the time, and swimming is no problem.

    Other than draining and refilling, is there another way to lower CYA?

    It's the only practical way. The other way is to let your pool go really, really, really green and let the algae break it down. I'd rather drain/refill!
