Starts disappearing at 70 and completely at 80. Once again I would like to thank everyone for their input and help with this. I...

    your right....I meant to say the FC 9 was done around 9A. I did not test again till the next morning. I let the system run normal, had to go to work around 3P. The 11.5(gain of 2.5) I assume was through out that day.

    Did not do the test. The system started acting right after stabilizer was added

    Update. I did not have to do the OC gain test. After adding stabilizer to the pool 3 days ago, at 9AM yesterday the FC was 9 and 11.5 this morning. I have not checked the CYA yet but that is next on the list. I dialed the % back from 60 to 50. Plan on checking the FC about mid day.

    Check my calculations. My T9 cell specs are 0.98lbs in 24hrs=15.68oz chlorine gas= a FC increase of 17ppm according to pool math. So if I run my system from say 8P-8A(12hrs) i should see a approx increase of 8.5 FC

    I suspect your spitball guess is on point. The next sound your going to hear is my head being removed from my backend. I sometimes get that can't see the forest for the trees.

    Brown Algae??? Dirt?

    I did contact Hayward and put in a ticket. But I retested the CYA and found it to be 50 ....maybe. So with all my other perimeters looking normal, I started adding stabilizer. It all make sense now why my FC would drop so drastic throuhout the day. from 11 to 3.5to4 I am going to look at my...

    Still trying to get FC to stay up. so this morning(4/15) after adding 81oz of bleach at 7P the night before. My system had already shut off so I turned the pump on manually to circulate at 800RPM about an hour. I noticed at the lower RPM I was seeing a lot of gas bubbles coming from the the...

    Brown Algae??? Dirt?

    Dusting has decreased a lot...still getting some though. Been working on getting FC back to some sort of normal level, say 8-10. Have got the PH back to a manageable. Ever since I have been trying get my FC up. 4/10 @2P FC=2.5,added 60oz of the last of my bleach which should have raised the FC...
