Yes. A chlorine reading of 10 is fine for your CYA level. Take a look at the Best Guess Chlorine Chart in my signature below.

Do this. Test chlorine this evening when the sun is off the pool and then again in the morning within two hours of sunrise. If you have not lost more than 1ppm of chlorine overnight AND your CC is no greater than 0.5 and the pool is clear, then you can let the chlorine level drift down and keep it between 3-6 all the time.

one more question...clorine is now holding. but after swimming today, the pools deep end seems a little foggy. i can see the bottom and all, just doesnt seem perfectly clear. this happened yesterday too after swimming but i did need to add bleach last night and i did add 1 1/2 gallons. the pool looked great today before swimming. my numbers tonight are:
cya 30
FC-5
CC--it just very slightly changed after the drops, but did not turn completely at all
PH-7.6
TA-110
pool temperature is 82, i do have a heater.
let me know what you think is going on to make this happen after swimming and what i should do, if anything. Thank YOU!!

Sometimes mine does that after the kids have been swimming if there's any dust/dirt/pollen/sand in the bottom of the pool. It gets stirred up during the swim sessions. Some of it will get caught by the filter, most of it just settles back down into the seams of my liner overnight while the pool is off. If that's the case in your pool, let it settle overnight, then vac it out. If it doesn't bother you, just accept it as fact and don't worry about it If it looks at all greenish, or if you lose any chlorine at night (test at night and again in the morning before sun is on the pool), then just shock it one more time and it should finish clearing it up.
