Any issues with the CYA levels due to chlorine tablets? Based on the "experts" at TFP, its like the 11th Commandment - Thou shall not use chlorine tablets and use salt water generator. According to them, eventually the CYA approaches levels that do not allow for appropriate free chlorine levels and the only remedy is to drain pool.

This happened to me once when I first got the pool because I continued to add tablets all winter not realizing algae wouldn't grow in the cold water.

I only had to pump about 6 inches of water out of the pool and refill with fresh water.

Get your water tested locally and ONLY take advice from a local pool store. I've see the "experts" at TFP recommend draining pools down to lower CYA. You try that here on the Gulf Coast with a fiberglass pool and this is what you're going to end up with.
