I just took over pool maintenance in July (new pool opened in mid May) been working to lower TA - MA is the only thing I've been adding (~3 gallons this month so far).
The SWG (IC 40) had been running at 20% as I was trying to lower my chlorine from 10-12 to about 6ppm.
Last test on Wednesday, I showed it at 5ppm - so I bumped it back up to 40%, on Wednesday it was 4.5, so I bumped it to 60% . It's now showing at 2.5ppm today. CYA is 90.
Pool math says to run it at 14% for 1.5 hours. Doesn't seem like that would help.
Salt levels seem fine - 4000 and green on the IC40.
I've used both the TF100 test as well as some strips left by the builder - test results seem consistent.
Any ideas why FC keeps dropping?
Could rain have that much of an effect? We're in NE Florida (Jacksonville).
