Ok, update. The pool is pretty clear and looks nice. There are some white particles floating that are only noticeable at night in front of the pool light. I read somewhere not to be worried about that. ?
FC 4.5
CC 0.5
pH 7.3
TA 60
CYA 30 (subjective)
CH 900
Salt 3370
Temp 89 deg
CSI -.09
I'm slightly worried about how much CYA I needed to add to get to 30. Embarrassingly, I lost count. 7 or 8 lbs. Again, I think the test is straightforward enough so I'm pretty confident about 30ppm. I updated my chemicals last month. Maybe my pool is 20,000 gallons after all. I'll continue to monitor it over the next few day to see if it changes.
I went a bit slower on the CH test and ended up blue at 900. Maybe I could have gone slower? That's a lot of drops. Regardless, I know I've got a CH issue and will probably research a water exchange in the next couple of months.
Right now I'm concentrating on going out of town for 2 weeks. I plan to increase my SWCG to 80% and watch FC closely over the next few days to get a handle on changes. I'll drop some acid in right before I leave to make sure it stays around 7.2.
Sound good?
Thank you so much for getting me to this point @Texas Splash.

When you get back from your trip, check that CYA and let us know how it's going. Hopefully the CYA will creep up a bit more to protect the FC while you're away. Have a safe trip.
