I simultaneously siphon and fill the pool to adjust CyA down, but then have to redo alk and ph. I am not disciplined enough to go full-liquid in my sunny area, and too cheap to buy a liquid chlorinator.
These comments are too white. I apologize to OP and the diverse poal community for directing this discussion in such a way as to favor pooled persons over the not-yet-pooled. Let's stay on topic, people, and read the damn side bar. This is not who I am.

You probably wouldn't do that if you lived in an area that charged much for water. In our area a 1/2 drain and fill would cost me about $62. In my pool I would have to do that every few weeks to keep cyanuric acid between 30 and 60 ppm. Each puck adds 3.3 ppm cyanuric acid per 10,000 gallons. My pool is 20,000 gallons, so going from 30 ppm to 60 ppm takes about 26 pucks.
Running my showers and sprinklers costs me $400/mo. I could not imagine filling a pool.
Good god man. I think my last water bill was something like $42.
I got rid of the grass and installed plants that are already native to where I live. They're already used to the conditions and don't need water or care. Just doing that cut the water use by 85%. It's enough money to buy a case of 5.56 every two months, even at today's prices.
