Here is an excerpt from http://www.deh.enr.state.nc.us/ehs/chem.htm#sup "Once added to the pool, cyanuric acid does not dissipate. It is removed from the pool only by splash out and backwash waste. " As for chlorine always being low, test for ortho phosphates.
Should chlorine tablets be used in place of stabilizer chlorine tablets so the cyanuric acid don't get to high?
add acid and chlorine. or better still take a sample of water to your pool shop where they will test it ad tel you exactly what you need to set it right,
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
Keep the acid content too high for a while and a lit of staining will tend to get bleached out.
Not at the recommended level. If to much is used you may feel sleepy. Chlorine is very dangerous it leaves the water as chlorine gas which can kill you in high enough doses. Always ensure proper ventilation with indoor pools.
Adjust your pH to 7.4 ; alkalinity to 80-120 with acid. Add more 12.5% chlorine. If you are using household 5% bleach you are getting nowhere fast. k I agree. You can not control the chlorine levels with the PH being right first. Concentrate on the PH.
Do you have a chlorine generator? No.
Don't do anything. Chlorine goes away on its own, which is why you must monitor it and keep it at the correct level. If you have too much, wait a few days. If it is hotter than normal out, the chlorine will go away faster than normal.
Adjust your chlorine generator levels.
Keep your PH at 7.0-7.4 and use adequate chlorine. PH is very important, because if it gets too high, the chlorine will not work. To lower PH, you will need to get Muriatic acid at your hardware store. Use it with caution.
I can't answer the initial question if chlorine generators give off high chlorine false readings. I have an inline chlorine dispenser and it seems to work just fine for me. But the second part of the question asking if high chlorine will give false readings for pH and TA. I have read that somewhere and I am currently researching to validate that finding.
The constant use of small 1" , large 3" jumbo chlorine tabs and granular chlorine. they all have cyanurics acid in the compound mix. Best to switch to liquid for a while ( a month of so). The high levels of cyanurics will eventually drop as water evaporates and you add fill water. High levels of cyanuric acid or conditioner would be considered to be in excess of 100 ppm. You could also do a partial drain of the pool and refill to reduce the CYA faster. In the future you might consider alternating between liquid 12% chlorine and tabs. Note: 1" tabs dissolve faster. HTH granular and tabs I believe do not contain conditioner but then it is a lesser grade of chlorine - see percentage values on label.
