As of now my CYA is still less than 30. My test solution was barely cloudy. I could still see the black dot in the bottom of my test kit.
And yes, I have the k-2006 test kit. This is what I have been using.

Re: Free Chlorine Level, too high?
Ok. So, even though a chlorine reading of 10ppm is a little high for a pool with CYA less than 30ppm, (unless you are shocking the pool), it will come down on its own. Low CYA pools don't hang on to chlorine very long on hot sunny days.
Nothing to worry about. If you swim today while the chlorine is at 10ppm, just wear an old swimsuit. It won't hurt you at all.
Re: Free Chlorine Level, too high?
Thank you Watermom. My 9 year old is so excited to get in the pool. Too cold for me, it's only 69 degrees. We placed the solar cover on last night and it kept the temperature from last nights reading. Hubby is hooking up the solar panel as I type.

69 is way too cold for me, too! You'll be surprised how fast the solar panel will warm the pool up especially with also using the cover. Have fun!
