CYA testing help

[NannyAng]

I've finally gotten my CYA level up to 33. My questions now are these: 1. What is a healthy level of CYA to maintain? 2. Does stablizer disintigrate on its own if I stop using dichlor and only use bleach? 3. Once I reach that healthy level, should I switch back to only using bleach, or maybe bleach 5 days out of the week and dichlor the other 2?

1. For most pools, a CYA reading of around 50 is what we recommend.
2. CYA levels don't really change much during the summer but sometimes it does biodegrade over the winter. When it does, you have a huge chlorine demand upon opening.
3. Once you get your CYA where you want it, just switch to bleach.
