Bingo! JouyfulNoise, good to hear from another Tucsonian (Bear Down!). I'm on the other side of town near Marana. From where do you obtain your chlorine? Looks like a SLAM is in order as I still have the green stuff and what appears to be dead algae on the floor.
Firing the pool boys is definitely on the list and my CYA levels have me concerned. Did another quick test this morning using the 0.5 resolution and used the addition of tap water to CYA test. I only looked at FC and CYA:
FC 8.5, CYA 110
Being out of town frequently, I am curious about SWGs and will be learning more about them. I have a slim chance of getting the wife to add chemicals when travelling for work and am often out of town 4-5 days at a time.

Hey Flappy,
Go Wildcats!! My kids love The Pumpkin Patch in Marana. I hear the big retail shops and outlet stores are coming your way, is that true? If so, your quiet oasis up there in Marana is going to get flooded by us east-side horse-farm dwellers
With a CYA of 110ppm your pool's necessary FC is going to be really high and SLAM'ing is going to require a tanker truck full of Clorox. Any chance you can drain and refill about half your pool water? It sucks, I know. But there's not many options to deal with high CYA.
As for chlorine automation, I have an SWCG (Pentair IntelliChlor). The other option is a Stenner pump and bleach tank but that would not work for me because my equipment pad is in direct sun and high heat all day. If you get to a point of considering upgrades, feel free to PM me and I'll give you the name of a good PB who might be able to help you. He may just offer to direct you to his electrical/plumbing subs as he's a GC and prefers big jobs, but even getting good subs is a nice thing to have.
If you post a full set of test results, the fine folks here on TFP are more than happy to help you.
