    I must add to what I said in my previous post. I would not go into the water if the CC > 0 (> 0.5 or so) OR if you are still losing a lot of chlorine overnight. Having a high FC with CYA may not be a problem, but if the CC > 0 or you are losing chlorine overnight then this means there is still a lot of stuff getting killed or oxidized in the pool and you don't want to get exposed to that stuff if you can help it.

    thanks for all the great advice. We've finally had some rain today. I turned off the filter this a.m. to hopefully let anything that was still being circulated fall to the bottom. I had to pump off some water this morning to keep it from overflowing but my FC was still at 15 this morning. I'm guessing that with the 2 backwashes and letting some off this morning I'm going to need to add some CYA. i'm keeping my fingers crossed to seeing some improvement when I get home.
