FYI, I'm just not totally convinced that the lower CL levels will adequately take care of my pool. I'm less than 3 months with this pool and about 4-6 weeks with the SWCG. So, for now, I'm running a CYA of 45-50 and CL levels 5-10, but mostly 6-9. Tons of UV exposure and lots of wind blowing in small debris. Air temps have just this week dropped down from the low 100's.
Pump is on 12 hours per day and the generator is set on 60% - for now.

I read this thread completely - and it is more of theCYA level rant/arguement - I am not aruging the CYA level - the pool builder added it to the pool - unless I want to drain and refill (which I don't) that is what it will be.

I guess my question is now - should I just keep it at the 3~4ppm level it is at now - or should I try to get it up to 5~10ppm.

I have the understanding that I will not be able to generate that much chlorine with the SWCG - so it mught be a moot point?
