New Pool owner water chemistry

[sammm]

I run a high CYA pool, as mentioned before. I live in Louisiana, and have no shade at all on my pool.

Thanks for the info Janet, I appreciate it. Living in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, I know all about sunshine and heat. My pool is on the east side of my house and only sees shade in the late afternoon.
I'll monitor my chlorine usage and see how it goes. With your CYA being between 80-90ppm, do you keep your FC between 5-10ppm (using the Best Guess CYA Chart) ?
