Yep, count me in with that group.

I decided to raise my CYA from its normal 40 ppm to 60 ppm which has noticeably reduced the frequency and amount of chlorine additions. I'm running the FC at 5-7 ppm now.

It's been a weird season. Late to warm up, lots of rain in the spring, then a nasty heat wave with no rain at all which is making demands on my well for refills.
