Hi, second year pool owner here. Above ground. First year I was using whatever the pool company told me to, based on Pristine Blue system. This year I'm trying the TFP method. My pH, TA, CH are all within norm. I'm still adjusting the FC and CYA. The water is pretty much clear and blue, a little opaque. However, it feels like you're a bit grimy after getting out of the pool, unlike last year on Pristine Blue. What can be the cause? What can I check and adjust? Thanks
 
Welcome to TFP! :wave:

How are you chlorinating your pool?
What test kit are you using?
Have you done an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test?
Are you using PoolMath

Did you do a substantial drain and refill since discontinuing the copper ionizer?
