I have a question: If we put CYA in pools to protect chlorine from degradation, and suggest levels of 30-50 ppm in a "regular" chlorinated pool that gets dosed weekly (assuming a pool man in servicing the pool), why does the CYA level increase to 60
Read more…Read something the other day that said CYA greater than 30 ppm renders ORP readings nearly useless, and it got me to wondering. We watch ORP closely on our trailer to protect our membranes, and the system shuts down if we exceed about 500 ORP.
