The only way to lower your cya level in your swimming pool is to partially drain your pool and fill with fresh water that will lower it or if you want to lower it to almost nothing completely drain your pool and start over but keep in mind chlorine tablets will raise your CYA level

You have to know what you are doing. The addition of muriatic acid lowers the pH and total alkalinity in swimming pools.
Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.
Pool acid typically refers to muriatic acid, which is a common acid used to lower the pH levels in swimming pools. The main ingredient is hydrochloric acid. It is important to handle muriatic acid with care as it is highly corrosive and should be diluted before adding it to the pool water.
Reduces alkalinity of swimming pool water (softens hard water)
Sodium Bisulphate is dry acid for swimming pool use.
That Acid is called Muriatic Acid. You put it in your swimming pool to lower the PH of the water. At lower PH Levels, the chlorine you use to sanitize the pool is more active, as a disinfectant. You MUST be careful not to put too MUCH Muriatic Acid in your pool! PH that is too low will create potentially deadly fumes, so test your water. Low pH is corrosive to plaster and metal pool parst.
It lowers PH
Muriatic acid is commonly used in swimming pools to lower the pH levels and alkalinity of the water, which helps prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. It is also used to clean and maintain the pool's surfaces and equipment.
Turn the pool upside-down and knock on the bottom.
