So we had to get up early today so I did an overnight test. I failed. what in the heck? well, I did it again and I passed.

yeah that must be why I'm losing chlorine during the day. My SWG just kicked on so that's good.

tested CYA, it's somewhere between 20-30. maybe just 20. I added 4 bags of salt and I guess I'll start increasing CYA.

interesting! I always start right away adding CYA, though I usually open mid may. I haven't put any salt in yet, but I I probably can now.

When do you usually increase CYA and add salt?

why another OCLT?

No likely not. No sun. I did it Friday with a lot of sun.

yes that's what I've been doing since Wednesday. I think I might be on the upswing now, I haven't had to add chlorine since 8:30 last night. we will see!

well I didn't do the OCLT last night since I was losing so much chlorine throughout the day.I dumped some extra in to make it all night, this morning at 7:00 am it was 15.5 and then now at 10 it's 15. it's rainy and cloudy. no sun. maybe I should have done the test? has the full sun the past...
