    I'm not sure what's a good CYA level it should be for my pool. The reason I say it's low because on the CYA chart, it start with 60 so I figure mine is low. Do you supposed to lose FC level after a rain? If so, how much FC do you lose after a rain?

    I can probably get someone to do it for sure. However, I'm a control system specialist for oil and gas industry by day so I don't see why I can't get this running by myself, I rather learn how to install it and able to maintain it in case anything happen. The picture just help me understand...

    According to the manual, the ideal pool water "Free Chlorine 1 to 3 ppm". So if my CYA level is at 60 and my FC target is 7, isn't that high compare to the Hayward?
