    It does have the 3 cell power settings 1-2-3. I think I understand the chart in the manual on how to adjust if the percentage is too high or to low. It says if the FC is higher or lower than normal then if the purifier % is less than 25% do the following a or b, if it is between 25-75% do this...

    Need advice on what chemicals to add to get it cleared up.

    Re: Need advice on what chemicals to add to get it cleared u FC+CC=TC. The TC of 2.2 posted above is correctly derived from adding the FC of 1.2 and CC of 1. The confusion arose over how the chlorine could be "past 5". Did you test using both the FAS-DPD (which uses the powder) and OTO tests...
