Good Morning,
Joined the group in June and you guys helped me maintain a Trouble Free Pool all summer long. Lately, however, my chlorine levels have risen without adding chlorine to the point of 10.8 this morning. I had seen it in the 7 and 9 range in the last couple of weeks. The 10.8 this morning was after draining about 4 inches of water yesterday from the Hurricane Matthew rains. Below I have listed my other readings. Is this normal (obviously temperatures have been dropping)?
Chlorine 10.8
pH 8
alkalinity 60
calcium hardness 350
CYA 90
Salt Generator set @ 50% reads 3,100 ppm (this usually reads 3,300-3,500)
For what it's worth, I swam last week at the 9 chlorine range and eyes were fine. Thanks for the help.

If the FC level is rising and you are saying the SWG is on but the output percentage hasn't been changed then that is normal. As water temp drops FC consumption also drops. Also as the water temp drops the salt level reading in the cell will drop.
