My PB is finally going to install my SWCG (Aqua Rite) tomorrow - at least that's what he says. My 17,000 IG, PebbleSheen pool is now just over a month old. I've been following this forum's advice and thanks to all, plus Ben's test kit, have a nice clear pool.

Entire pool is in full sun throughout the day from at least 9 to about 5, then parts in shade. Lower than average bather load; Calcium Hypo used for chlorine until my calcium hits a good level. Have been keeping free chlorine in the 4-6 range for the last week (finally got the hang of this - maybe??)

I know the SWCG mfr says 60-80ppm CYA and that 80 is preferred. I also know there are those on this forum who are operating nicely with a lower CYA. Currently, my CYA is lower than "preferred." Can I give it a go with the SWCG with my current numbers? If my chlorine level currently drops about 2.5 during the day in the sun, what is my risk in running with a lower CYA with the SWCG? I'd like to keep my chlorine as effective as possible.

Anything that jumps out at you that I need to watch for with the startup of the SWCG with my numbers where they are?

This AM's readings:
Water temps 82 in AM to 86+ in PM, air temps will be over 100 this week, so water temps will be close to 90 in PM
pH 7.5+
FC 7.0
CC 0
TA 90
CH 190 (had tested 200 last 2 days)
CYA 25-30 (Ben's test) OR 30-35 (Taylor test)
Salt 600 (must be residual from bleach used prior to CalHypo, confirmed result with 2nd test, fill water stays orange/red with 1st drop)

I'm thinking of pulling my pH down a bit tonight. But what do you think about adding any more stabilizer?

Also, if residual bleach can add so much salt, would I be better off aiming for the lower amount of recommended salt, in case I would need to use bleach in the pool later this season?

Lots of questions, I know. Thanks for your patience, input and opinions.
