Chlorine Demand that just won't go away...

Can anyone tell me what this means? FC held overnight and CC is down to .5 and has been since yesterday morning. I just took FC reading again (about 3 1/2 hrs since last one) and it is at 9.5 and CC at .5. Is that ok? Should I bring FC back to 12 or because it held overnight it's ok? I know I want FC to hold, CC to be under 1 and clear water...just wanted to ask to make sure I should add bleach again. Should I do an overnight test again as well?
That is fine. .5 CC is okay. No need to shockgerks9800 said:
CC can bouce from .5 to zero and back and forth, but that is common.

The pool is clear, right? See red lines in my sig
YEAH!!!! Finally got this thing under control. Just vacuumed and backwashed. Next steps would be to check PH and alkalinity now that we have the chlorine demand under control?
Hi Guys! It's been a few days and here is what I have. Just want to make sure I proceed the correct way.
FC .5, CC .5, TC 1, PH 7.5, CYA 40, Alk 210
I know that you said to NOT use the chlorine pucks anymore. SO I just need to add chlorine to get back up to a 3-4 of FC, right? Since PH is good, I don't worry about the Alkalinity being a little on the high side? Anything else I should know?
I really do appreciate all the help you guys have given me, I was at my wits end.

Your FC should not be allowed to drop below 3 ppm! Normal range for your FC is 3-7 ppm (using 40 ppm cya from poolcalculator.com). Hopefully you are still algae free?gerks9800 said:
Just keep a close eye on ph and when it gets to 7.8, lower it down to 7.2...this will slowly lower TA over time.gerks9800 said:
Pool is crystal clear!! I will get it back up and not let it fall again. Busy weekend with sports and wasn't home to check. Bad me
