Clear, but no chlorine???

What if the CC level goes up?

Also, you'll need to avoid focusing on problems you do NOT yet have. Just do the basics, and worry about the other stuff WHEN it becomes a problem; not before.

If you had the same storm we did, I hope you had your auto-cover closed! Debris is everywhere. Even my outdoor, heavy furniture was overturned. Large slate slabs on my table were lifted and askew. Wow. How is the pool doing since lowering FC?

Wow indeed- I heard 70 mph winds in the area. Incredibly, we only got a bit of rain, but closed the cover to be on the safe side.

The FC has been dropping approx. 2 points during the day and 0-1 overnight. The CC has also been dropping!
Yesterday morning FC=22 CC=0.5.
Yesterday early evening (5:45pm due to rain) FC=20 CC=0. I double checked using a 25ml water sample to be sure and the FC=20.2 CC=0

This morning tested @ 8:30 FC=19 CC=0.

Sounds like you are done. To be safe, maybe one more day and then let chlorine drift down. Then you should be good to go and we can wrap up this incredibly long thread! Good luck!

Thanks again. It's been a long 3 weeks and I appreciate all the help.

Hey. While you're in wait mode, would you humor me and test your fill water? Not CYA, but the rest. You might have done this before and if so, please just repost those numbers. Thanks.

Just curious.... already thinking about next year for current high CYA and especially CH

YAY! -> Jumping up and down, screaming YAY!

No more need to test more than daily. Let the FC keep coming down to 10 or 11 and don't let it get below 8 ever.

Congratulations!

@BigDave: Thanks again for your patience. Yes, the family was quite happy. It was a very splashy weekend…. and an incredible learning experience. As my daughter says: "You guys are awesome".

@FBU: pool stats (from this morning): FC=15.5 CC=0 pH=7.8 TA=150 CH=625

Congratulations!!!
Thanks for the test results but I'd really like to see your fill water numbers from your hose when you have time. All but CYA.
