Me, too! I'm glad we were both wrong.
Happy to hear it's looking good.

Re: What chlorine level to shock -- now that half my CYA is gone
Just checked FC...dropped to 16 (from 25.5 early this morning). Today was sunny all day. Hopefully it will hold overnight. If not, should I bump it back up to 20?

Re: What chlorine level to shock -- now that half my CYA is gone
Nah. Unless you have algae or slime, let it drop to levels appropriate for your current CYA level
Re: What chlorine level to shock -- now that half my CYA is gone
Thanks. No algae or slime, so I'll let it drop to normal. 5-6 seems to be the sweet spot for my pool given CYA 60-80 recommended by my SWCG manufacturer (Goldline Aqua Rite, now Hayward).

Sounds good!

7:30am this morning:
FC 13
CC 0
So it dropped 3ppm overnight. I expect by this evening it should be at the target range (hopefully not under!) and should be able to measure/tweak everything else as needed (pH, salt, CYA, TA, and borates).

Sounds good.
Re: What chlorine level to shock -- now that half my CYA is gone
I just wanted to say thank you for the help dealing with the byproducts of CYA biodegradation. I won't bore you with the latest numbers other than to say I just need to tweak a few levels before I start up the SWCG.
Water warmed up to 76 today, so we officially kicked off the 2014 season by getting in!
Thanks again.
PS - I don't care that some years ago my (ex!) pool person at the pool store said y'all are just some nuts on the internet and don't know what you're talking about, y'all are A+ in my book.

Re: What chlorine level to shock -- now that half my CYA is gone
When I first started PoolSolutions and the PoolSolutions forum (later, PoolForum), I used to get regular 'nasty-grams' from dealers and pool guys. But other than complaints from some of the shysters we've exposed, that no longer seems to happen. We've actually had pool guys tell people to use our site to figure out pool chemistry.PS - I don't care that some years ago my (ex!) pool person at the pool store said y'all are just some nuts on the internet and don't know what you're talking about, y'all are A+ in my book.
