Over the past week or so, I have used seven 1lb bags of dichlor and things are looking pretty sweet around here. Chemicals are in balance but I have a question.

My CYA is now in the neighborhood of 30ppm and my TC at 3ppm (or 4) after I add dichlor at dusk stays there until the morning and drops to 1ppm after a long day of Texas sun.

Can I expect TC to drop less if I raise my CYA to 40ppm as Watermom recommended and even less if I raise it to 50ppm? (Right now with CYA at 30ppm, I believe I would need to add ~6 cups of 8.25% liquid bleach every day to bring TC back to 3ppm at dusk on an ongoing basis and it would obviously be great to have to use less bleach.)
