OK, CC jumped up to 1.0 and FC consumption jumped a bit above 1ppm per hour yesterday after removing pool light. This afternoon CC readings back down to 0. Still lost about 1ppm FC per hour so far this afternoon, but it's in bright sun and per the chart above, most of my FC loss could have been attributed to sun. CYA is now measuring 40 instead of 30, may have overshot that, misread originally, or it just took a while to come up.
Found a good youtube video on cleaning my Sta-Rite System 3 Cartridge Filter. Decided to do it even though gauge may be faulty. It did drop 7-8 psi - so if 10 is actually 0 , then my PSI is 15 now. As far as I can tell they could be original filters, or at a minimum 10 years old. Probably a good idea to get a new set.
If nothing else, I'm learning a lot about my pool and equipment as I go along!
