pH - 7.6
CYA - 50
FC - 4
CC - 0
TA - 60
CH - 125
Salt - 3400

Had high salt the other day and my CYA was at 60, but had to put a bunch of water in to raise the level to the right place and it got the salt in check but lowered CYA by 10 or so. I added some more stabilizer today to regain some and i'll try to get it back to 60. I have had my salt cell at 10% and was hovering right around FC of 4. I bumped it to 15% today, and i'm thinking I need to get FC more up around 5 or 6.
Should I also add Calcium Chloride to get my CH up to around 350 or so? It's Fiberglass and have heard some mixed results but my CSI is not in check without bringing that up a lot more.
 
You don't need CH in a fiberglass pool.

You should follow this for your FC level. Link-->FC/CYA Levels

Turn off CSI, not important in a fiberglass pool, unless you have a tile/grout waterline.

Thanks, we don't have a tile/grout waterline, just paver coping blocks, not sure if that matters.

I'll kick the generator up another 5% and see how it goes with the FC and target 6.

Nope.

Raise your FC with liquid chlorine and maintain with the generator. Generator not so good at raising FC.
