why NOT keep a high CYA ?

[aylad]

thanks for the replies.

the issue of "fading bathing suits" is part of my confusion concerning CYA and chlorine. if the CYA causes the chlorine to be less effective against pool nasties, then shouldn't it be equally less effective fading bathing suits ?

since its still able to fade bathing suits i wonder if there are health risks at these higher levels of chlorine ...

thanks

I am the one that runs the high CYA levels--I keep it at 80-90......and we don't have problems with faded suits...at least, not so far in 5 seasons.
