    Pollen. Are you outside when you are in the pool? Are you inside most other times? I have allergies this time of year that I don't have other times.

    Update:

    Eye irritation is greatly reduced after adding 260 pounds of salt and five pounds of Cyanuric acid. I also fixed the high TA using the gas law technique.

    Using the Taylor K-2006 I now get these results:

    FC - 3
    CC - 0
    PH - 7.6
    TA - 90
    Ca - 240
    Cya - 30

    Using the Taylor K-1766 Drop Test for Chloride:
    Salt - 2200 ppm

    23,000 gallon In Ground Plaster Pool
    2.5 Hp two speed Hayward pump
    48 Sq. Ft. D.E. Filter

    Thanks go to Richard (Chem Geek) and CarlD for your valuable guidance.
