High Chlorine readings - how do they impact other readings

[CarlD]

You've got it backwards. Carl was suggesting raising the FC, not the CYA. If you raised the CYA you'd have to raise the FC even more. I'd leave your CYA where it is and just try and target a 6 ppm FC instead of the 5 where you are now at. This will help ensure that you don't get any algae growth.

You'd only raise your CYA if you found that your chlorine loss from sunlight during the day was too high.

Thanks, Richard....Cabin fever must be getting to me--Yeah, of course I meant raising the FC, not CYA.

You adjust your FC based on the level of CYA. If your CYA is too high for your taste, you have to drain water and refill to get it down.
