High CYA levels in a swimming pool.

Are ya looking to swim in February? Let it chill out for a while

Bring a pool sample to a store and let them tell you

Urine dechlorinates. Throw a kegger and invite the new neighbors over.

You'll establish alcoholic dominance over the hood, while rectifying your excess chlorination.

The drain and a hose?

Take chlorine out and give it a week. It will drop down. Not as quickly if it is cold, but it will drop - maybe in 2-3 days.

The fact it will drop some every day is why you must keep adding chlorine tot he pool.

If you can find any sodium hypochlorite, (old Black and White print developing Fixitive) it will lower it very quickly. Chlorine Out for treating aquarium water when topping off your tank is sodium hypochlorite.

Dont even know what CYA levels are

Ive had a saltwater pool for 12 years

Bag of salt say once every 2 months and im good

I dont do shite to it, yes 12 years. Just keep salt around 3000 PPM

Salt water chlorinator gone out twice $250 repair

Never ever added chlorine to it

Chlorine is not CYA. Chlorine will burn off quickly due to sun and dirty conditions as it works to clean. Cya is stabilizer and will last much longer than chlorine which is the reason why pucks suck. You have to constantly add chlorine but the cya builds up and makes the chlorine less effective. Easiest way to lower cya is the drain water and add fresh water. Can also wait for rain to eventually dilute but that can sometimes take a long time depending on conditions.

Sodium hypochlorite is fricking bleach. Adding this to your pool increases chlorine you tard

Drain and refill. For those saying it will burn off, CYA is stabilizer. It will never burn off. You want 20-40 ppm and then use chlorinating liquid or the non stabalized pucks. I know it's a PITA but long term you will be glad you did

God damn idiots.


Chlorine degrades on its own. Just give it time.
