lower my chlorine

[plumerella]

I have cc and fc chlorine levels 14 or above. Pool opened and they put chlorine in
How do I lower it? Turned SWG to lowest setting 20% I don’t have a bypass it is intellchlor swg besides draining the water, is there a eay to lower it? PH is 7.4 because it was 8 yesterday and I added acid. I used the Taylor test kit. Then I brought my water to the pool store because I thought my reading was wrong. Help

An FC of 14 or more isn't necessarily something to worry about depending on the CYA. What is your current CYA? FC should fall quickly on its own.

I would be more worried about the elevated CC. How does the water look?

CYA is 40

You can see from the FC/CYA Levels that a pool with a CYA of 40 could easily have an FC of up to 16 and still be safe for swimming. That's what it would be at for a SLAM Process to remove algae. You don't' appear to need a SLAM right now, so just leave the FC alone and it should drop as long as the SWG isn't producing any FC.

On a side note because of the elevated CC, if you have any doubt about algae, consider running an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to be sure. Hope that helps.

It is really clear. I hope no algae. I don’t know how to run the filter without the SWG The lowest it goes is 20 percent
