    Does anyone know of the strands, pollen and other organic material create a chlorine demand? I've been dropping between 3 and 4 points every two days lately but my cya is at 40. I run between 3-7 FC.

    Yep. Chlorine will be used up on any organic material in the pool.

    I get a lot of maple "wings", pod strands from my neighbor's gazillion evergreens, and, this time of year, amazingly disgusting amounts of bird poop. I put out rubber snakes on the fence to try to discourage them. It all raises chlorine demand.
