I still need to keep the chlorine high even though it did not consume any overnight? Well, can't see the bottom yet. Only about halfway to the bottom. It would be safe to swim in with FC level @ 18? I'll never use test strips again. I really like the TP-Pro. Really easy to get very accurate...

After a backwash, it settles in at about 15 psi and then never goes up unless I add a little DE. Then I'll have to backwash again in a couple of hours.
