Also my SWG is usually left on 10% and is run 8 hours a day. Chlorine got low so we turned it up to 20% last week and it shot up to 8 so it is off at the moment.
If your Aquapure is hooked up to your automation, you should be able to adjust it in 1% increments, versus 5% increments manually on the Aquapure box when it is not controlled by automation.
Why are you running your pump for 8 hours a day? That's probably far more than necessary considering that your pool is enclosed in a birdcage and your FC rises too much.
I'd suggest you drop your pump run time to 4 hours a day and see how that does. You can tweak FC by either pump run time or percentage on the cell. Its a balancing act.

My friend came by and tested my pool. He has a system called waterlink spintouch which he said is a $700 machine (he used to sell them) and is very accurate. It did yield some different results from what the pool store gave me which does make me question them. I will say after I added another cup of acid this morning and tested it, it finally started looking in the normal range and he confirmed that for me. Results are:
FCL- .56 (I already turned the SWG back on to 5%
TCL- .83
CCL- .27
PH- 7.7
Alk- 99
CH-351
CYA- 49
Pho-272 (We are going to add phosphate remover)
I added one more cup of acid to stay ahead of the game so it seems I am finally getting somewhere with the ph thank god. Is my calcium level too high? Anything else I need to do based on those results?
I wouldn’t retest it so soon. These chemicals you add need time to mix in and disperse before you can retest them. If your dumping acid in and retest the water 10 mins later your not doing any good. Nothing beats a good Taylor test kit either
