...turned fill valve. Forgot to set a reminder. Went out early this morning to see that my deck drains work great 
... but while driving around for work today I got to thinking.... I may have done myself a favor... you see my CH was previously 775 or so... and I had been putting off the inevitable water exchange to bring it down.... tested this afternoon and CH is now 525. Yay! I was running pump at 1200rpm and I use a suction cleaner with pool cover on. I left valve at even split, so I believe this is what helped out the most... pulling the water from the bottom. Of course I lost salt and chem, so I'm going to go the rest of the way on CH and do a controlled exchange today/tonight before balancing again. This time I'm going to lean more on suction and go 3450rpm on the pump... hopefully I will see quicker results in dropping CH.... and then I don't have to pull my sump pump out and all that jazz!
Just wanted to share how my stupidity worked out for me..... once anyways.... doesn't happen often!
