My pool seems to be eating Chlorine to the tune of close to 5pmm per day... is this normal?
My numbers for today were as follows...
7AM
FC - 7.2
CC - 0
PH - 7.4
TA - 100
CH - 60
CYA - 50
Temp - 75f
6PM
FC - 2.4
CC - 0
PH - 7.4
TA - 100
CH - 60
CYA - 50
Temp - 81f
The temp is the water temp, not the air.
According to Poolmath, I needed to add another 120oz of 8.25% bleach to get it back up to 8ppm.
I have had 0 drop in FC during the overnight hours.
I started out with less than 20ppm CYA last week, and added some on tuesday per poolmath, and am now reading 50. I had thought that once I got the CYA in there, I should end up with less loss due to the sun, but I'm going through the same... if not a bit more to hold the higher FC levels that 50pmm CYA needs.
I run my pump 24/7 on low (if that makes a difference).
Am I missing something?
