With a CYA over 100, this means taking your chlorine level up to 25 ppm and holding it there until the pool clears up, and until you're no longer losing chlorine overnight. At that point you can let the chlorine come back down, but with your CYA that high, you can't ever let it come down below 8 ppm.
