    CYA Question

    Wow - my water bill is going to be sky high this month - I should have probably taken 85% to 90% replacement the first time. I presume its still safe to swim in as long as CYA under 100

So I have avoided adding Chlorine - should I add some to be on...

    Chlorine levels not dropping

    I just conducted another test on FC. FC = 4 a drop from 5 I am surprised I have only had a drop of 1, my pool typically would lose around 3 daily. We have had no sun in past 24 hr and moderate rain.
