    I tested the water and the PH 7.4 and free chlorine 2 ppm. The water is clear and doesn't sting your eyes. I think I figured out the Google problem. No need to respond. Thank you anyway.

    Do you know what your CYA reading is? By the way, the Taylor K2006 is great. The instruction book that comes with it is NOT. Just ignore it and use the info from the forum instead.

    By the way, I'm envious of your water temp!

    My CYA is 0. I finally figured out my problem with low FC 1 ppm and CC .4 ppm, the Pentair Rainbow 320 Chlorine feeder wasn't hooked up properly. There was no chorine control valve to adjust the flow from the chlorinator. There is supposed to be a hose at the bottom of the tee that connects to the bottom of the chlorinator. I ordered the parts. In the meantime, I am adding bleach every evening about 4 cups and my FC 2 ppm and CC 0 ppm. My PH is 7.4. After I fix the feeder, I will update this thread.

    My pool water is really clean and really clear. You can even see the left over scale on the bottom of the pool. No slime building on walls and when I sweep the bottom it doesn't get cloudy. The pool pump cleans the bottom so well that there is hardly any debris. I use the pool an hour a day and keep the solar cover on the rest of the time.
