    Do I need to be concerned with a .4 CC level

    no need to worry about the CC but a FC of 1 is low you need to refer to the CYA/ chlorine chart to ensure you don't fall below the min. recommended level as being below can allow something to start to grow which might require you to SLAM your pool

    FC Loss per day without CYA

    Start at 40. Once you get a good grasp of how it is using fc then you can bump it up but never let fc drop below the level on the cya fc chart The cover will cut fc loss dramatically by blocking sun and keeping stuff out of pool

    Boric Acid v borax

    Green water continues, new filter installed and chemicals OK

    Re: Green water continues, new filter installed and chemical Don't worry about the filter until you kill the algea. A filter does nothing to kill anything I would trust your judgement that it is fine. Lower your cya, keep fc at shock level adding chlorine as often as possible hourly is best...
