Re: Hello from Tampa, FL
Yeah, I have no clue what my CYA level is at the moment; I'm guessing super low at the rate my pool is eating through chlorine in this heat. One of the reasons I've been considering investing in a SWCG.
Soon as that kit gets delivered, that's the first thing I'm checking.
Are there tabs made for those inline chlorinators that do not contain CYA?
Re: Hello from Tampa, FL
Nope. They all have CYA in them. And some of them also have copper in them!!Originally Posted by lauraleellbp
You do NOT want copper in your pool! Contrary to popular belief, it is not chlorine that stains things and causes blonde hair to turn green, it is copper!
Re: Hello from Tampa, FL
HMMMMM... Well, that may make the difference between the inline vs SWCG decision then. Bummer, as the inline is so much more economical.
I may wait to make the decision after I test my CYA level. See what I'm starting off with.

No, LOL, but this is way the forum is set up. If you want to escape having your posts have to go through moderation, you can become a subscriber if you are interested. (Link in my signature below.)
You don't have to have a chlorinator or an SWCG. You can simply manage your pool's chlorine yourself. That is what most of us do. It is easy and takes no more than 5 minutes per day.
Re: Hello from Tampa, FL
I know, and I did really well with the pool last year. But a rather crazy and inconsistent work schedule this year has affected my pool maintenance quite a bit (haven't even gotten to swim much, and I LOVE the water), so I'm trying to automate as much as possible, as economically as possible.
Is there a way to keep CYA in balance if you want to run a high CYA level and also use an inline chlorinator?
Can you use granulated chlorine in any inline reactors?
Re: Hello from Tampa, FL
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/
Re: Hello from Tampa, FL
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*
