First test results need feedback

Thank you for the explanation.
Is 9.2 too high for my CYA of 30? Should I do something now or wait for it to lessen? I added chlorine the past few days because of high pool use.

9.2 is a bit high for maintenance...it's still alright for swimming, but it may fade your suit. I'd let it drift down to the range listed below. Leave the pool uncovered for a day or two and it'll drift down soon enough.

Use the info in this chart to help you figure out what levels of chlorine you need to maintain in your pool based on the amount of CYA (cyanuric acid, also called stabilizer) that you have in your pool. (FC = free chlorine)

Stabilizer . . . . . . Min. FC . . . . Max FC . . . 'Shock' FC
=> 0 ppm . . . . . . . 1 ppm . . . . . 3 ppm . . . . 10 ppm
=> 10 - 20 ppm . . . . 2 ppm . . . . . 5 ppm . . . . 12 ppm
=> 30 - 50 ppm . . . . 3 ppm . . . . . 6 ppm . . . . 15 ppm
=> 60 - 90 ppm . . . . 5 ppm . . . . . 10 ppm . . .. 20 ppm
=> 100 - 200 ppm . . . 8 ppm . . . . . 15 ppm . . .. 25 ppm
