    I've got an Autopilot SC-60 that was running around 25% on level one for my 20,000 gal IG. I worked it up to 65% over the last two weeks to keep up with the increased usage and sun. Yesterday I went to Level 2 and 25%. I'll try that for awhile.

    I did dump in 3 gallons of bleach after the Tropical Storm dumped about 6" of water into the pool overnight on Tuesday. Fourtunately, that will help reduce my CYA down from 100 when I drain it back down today

    Robert,
    we are in South Florida & were having a problem where no CL was being produced, realized our PH was too high and our aquarite swg wasn't producing. Now have ph under control and voila, we have mega chlorine.
    We are trying to find a happy medium ...right now its at 70%. We have 10,500 gallons, full sun all day ..... cya about 60-70.

    Thanks Shari. I had been talking with Michael (mwsmith) as he lives in the same area as I do. He said the same thing about pH and then I read some more on Goldline's web site and it also said the generation is more effective with lower pH. I admit I had been letting my pH drift (jump is more like it) to the high end. The other day, I brought it down to 7.2 or so and am trying to keep it down there. My CYA today is 45 although I added some CYA last week thinking I was bringing it up to 60. I guess I had a lot less than I thought I did.
