    I used a new Taylor 2oo6k kit for the above readings.

    My wife said the CYA dot was invisible at 50ppm, I said "almost" 60ppm. (The 55 is a compromise since the range gap between the 50 and 60 is quite large on the turbidity tube.)

    Ok, that make sense. But you are still at the upper end of what you want your FC to be normally in a pool at 60 ppm.

    Other possible reasons for high chlorine consumption:
    + recent use of a sodium bromide product -- ANYTHING from United Chemical Company
    + early stages of algae growth
    + use of any algaecide
    + kids peeing in the pool (urine uses up a lot of chlorine)
