It looks crystal clear! No signs of algae or anything.

Re: AG Pool Closing with High CYA
Excellent. May I assume you raised that FC to the high-end of your FC/CYA ratio? Like about 6?

Re: AG Pool Closing with High CYA
I haven't added anything to the pool since opening. I was going to let the filter run for a couple of days, which it has now. As soon as I buy some bleach, I'll raise the FC, but should I raise it to shock levels (15) or max (6) or something else?
BTW, thank you for all your help!

Re: AG Pool Closing with High CYA
Well, see what your levels are. If FC is within your range for your CYA, you have CC<0.5, and your water is clear, you can just go with your maintenance range. Some people on opening like to do a test overnight to see if they lose FC.
We are all happy to help!

Re: AG Pool Closing with High CYA
I just checked Chlorine and pH again and I did lose a little FC = 2.4 ppm; CC = 0; pH = 7.6. Even though the test tube stays clear after adding the CC reactant, I notice the faintest of "pool smell." There is a lot of tree debris falling in the pool and clogging the filter.

Lordy. I answered the wrong person! Yikes! Sorry about that!
You still might want to do the overnight test to make sure!
