5700 gallon fiberglass pool in central Florida, just installed a few months ago. I had a few minor start-up issues due to my ignorance and not the best help from the pool company. For example they did not put any chlorine stabilizer in the pool at startup and did not even tell me that I needed it for two months. That's when I found this site and started learning and testing myself.
I think things are going OK, but my FC seems to stay on the high side. My pump is running 5.5 hours/day. I have a Pure Chlor generator with 8 settings or levels. Chlorine was high and I had shut the generator off for several days until the FC went down to 4. I've been running it for about a week at the lowest setting and FC has crept up. Is this OK? I don't want to shut the chlorine generator off, but would consider reducing pump run time if that makes sense.
