Also, has the pool been losing water more than normal (i.e. leak)?

Let me ask PoolDoc to see if he sees anything I am missing.
Something else I thought I'd add, I'm in Las Vegas and my water temp is in the high 80s to mid 90's (or at least that's what my HTH therm. says), could that be causing an challenges?
I wouldn't think so. My pool temps typically range from mid80s to sometimes low 90s after a long stretch of hot temps that we often have. (Usually 85-90 most of the time.)
There are only a couple of ways that you can lose CYA:
Water loss due to splash out or a leak
CYA degradation due to high chlorine or bacteria
Water loss is much more common reason than degradation but if you let the FC drop for a long period of time, that can cause bacteria to proliferate and then CYA degradation can happen.

Definitely do not add anymore at this time. I have asked Ben to pop in here and give use opinion. Hopefully, he'll be around to do so this evening.
