    Ok so I figured the filter issue. The o ring on the pump trap was on wrong which allowed an air leak and lowered the psi. The trap was filled so I cleaned it and it's running great.

    Taylor levels
    Fc 8.0
    Ph 7.2
    Cya around 50...ish
    I didn't test ta I forgot.

    What is ideal fc anyway? With the Taylor it doesn't mention it.

    And man the pool clouded up a bit after two days of straight torrential rain. Come on fc and pool filter!

    With a CYA of 50, you want to keep the chlorine between 3-6. But, since you had a lot of rain and the pool clouded up, you may want to go ahead and shock the pool up to about 15ppm for a couple of days. Run the pump 24/7 while you are working to clear it.

    Keep an eye on the pH. You're ok at 7.2, but don't want it to go lower.
