Hi everyone -
I recently opened up my pool again after draining about 3/4 of the way to do high CYA buildup (was at 140 - now down, but will probably need to drain again at the close of this season to bring it down more). Most of my levels are reading about where I want them (except for CYA as mentioned), but I'm not getting an FC reading at all. It currently takes almost 10 scoops of the powder to even get the color to change and then 2 or 3 drops of reagent to get it back to clear.
Does that sound expected? Should I just add liquid chlorine to get it back up (I have an auto-chlorinator, but I imagine that it takes quite a while to put enough FC into the pool using only it)
Here are the rest of my stats as of this morning.
