Thank you for clarifying this. Makes total sense. I love the PoolMath calculator. Great tool. Now I do understand why my other 10,000 gal pool but with a T-15 cell (1.43lb per day) runs effortlessly at 23% at 8 hours pump time. And when I needed more I just dialed it up a little bit and had...

Thank you for the calculation. Okay, so the pool has a more than sufficient CYA level which should result in an 70% Cl retention rate. This relates approximately to the 1.5ppm drop per day which I experienced last year when the pump went down. Similar pool. Same Florida Sunshine all day long...

Agree that I should target a 6ppm chlorine level for the CYA at 90, and trying to get it there. Will follow your advise and go through a longer Slam cycle just to make sure and will do a OCLT test, something I have not done yet. Thanks.

Tested the salt level again today and get 3400-3500 with a silver nitrate test, pool store also returned a 3400 reading. The T-9 cell is 2 weeks and the unit is set for this cell type. I agree the Amp reading should be over 5 Amps closer to 6 on a fresh cell at this salt level and 88F...

I testet the CYA myself with a Taylor kit and the pool store came up with the same. It’s high because of the prior use stabilized chlorine pucks. Don’t get any indication of algae when I brush and also had the pool shocked really good last week.

11,000 gal pool, new Salt System with a T-9 cell rated for 25,000 gal, but can barely maintain 2.0ppm of free Chlorine with a system setting of 90%. The running cell voltage is 24.3V, at 4.4A - which is perfectly normal according to the system manufacturer. Salt level is at 3400ppm, Temp 89F...
