11/6 at 5:30 PM I checked the pool and FC was at 7 so I added 21 Oz of 8.25%.. next time I tested was 11/7 at 7:45 PM and FC was at 8... so I didn't add any chlorine last night. Yesterdays was sunny with temperatures of 66/44 high/low. Pool water is about 56. Is it normal to have such little chlorine loss on a sunny day? My CYA is about 50.
No Chlorine Loss on a Sunny Day

More so this time of year. It will be more rare in summer when it starts getting hot. Water temp plays a big role, but there is less, and less intense sunlight in winter.
We have bright sunny days here in the dead of winter and I don't have to add hardly any chlorine, sometimes a week at a time. I reduce my pump runtime down to 4 hrs just to keep skimmers working and my Polaris cleaning any debris off the bottom. I'll soon be disconnecting power to my SWG.
I am having a similar experience in Central Texas. After a couple of months with Baqaucil and going through a $100 a week I will cherish how long my $2.94 cent bleach lasts.
