One thing to remember that may help you judge how much CYA you are adding is that for every 10ppm of chlorine that dichlor adds, it also adds 9ppm of CYA. Once the CYA is around 50, go to using bleach.
How do I know the ppm of chlorine I'm adding??? I add the dichlor by the ounce. I think I need to up the amount then test in a few days for the CYA. Right now the FC goes from 0 to 1.5 and the CC from 0 to 1...This is getting frustrating.. I take back the ay part. Especially since pool water looks so good!
