Yes, FC = 7 yesterday morning and this morning. SWG is still off. Pool is not covered. I did not add chlorine but did add some salt. Yes, it was very cloudy yesterday (the explanation for unchanged FC of course).

Using dichlor is fine. The CYA (per K2006 test kit) is 30. It's going to take alot of dichlor, to go up 40ppm, isn't it?

CONFESSION: the TA = 80 may not be accurate as I have not tested it with K2006 kit. (Don't ask.) Do I need to test it now?

Do I need to keep filter/pump running 24/7 as I work with the CYA?

"Let you know how it's going" makes me laugh. You can't get rid of me this easily or quickly.
I LOVE my pool. Thanks for helping me become better at maintaining it.
