I have been adding 1 1/2 cups. I did a quick test this afternoon, using the 3 way test (bought from Wal-Mart when we set up our pool in 2010). The color didn't look as bad as this morning's reading,but still much higher than it should be. I have been following the plan to the T. And following the advice from here.
Tonight I will skip the dichlor. I hope that in the morning my FC will be lower after the sun was on the pool for over 6 hours today.
