so it quit raining finally and we had the party after all. man was the chlorine high. i didnt test it before, but after the party (and everyone saying it was burning eyes) and you could really smell chlorine, fc was in the low 20's. i turned the chlorinator down to 25% and lowered run time by 2 hours in hopes to get the fc down, and even today (5 days later) the fc is 18. i just turned off the chlorinator. is that the best thing to do now to get it down? i cant test ph and swimming tonight wife says it burns her face a little.
Cloudy Water for days

Yes. And you should have shut the thing off when the shock process was complete and let FC go down. Who knows what your pH is right now? That could be the cause of stinging eyes, too.ctfortner said:
I would bet it's not the chlorine. It's either pH that needs to be adjusted, or the oxidation byproducts from the high bather load.
