    You cannot use granular chlorine in a chlorinater.

    If you intentionally run a high CYA pool, you'll also have to run a high chlorine pool. Read more about the CYA/Chlorine relationship in the Best Guess Chlorine Chart here: http://pool9.net/cl-cya/

    Yep, I got that part.

    Just trying to figure out if there is a way to (at least partially) automate chlorination on a high CYA pool?

    Or do you have to maintain lower CYA by default? Since I'm reading that most SWCGs have a max CYA level that doesn't seem to be very high, and apparently there is no chlorine option to use inside inline chlorinators that does not contain CYA.

    *sigh*

    There is no way that I am aware of that automates chlorination on a high CYA pool. But, if you have a higher CYA, you can probably get by with adding bleach only once or twice per week.

    If you don't mind the initial cost, you may be happier with an SWCG. You have to get the salt up to level, the CYA up to required level, water balanced and then turn the unit on and it will maintain chlorine levels for you. That may be the way to go if you really need the automation.
