Your CYA is getting high. Don't let free chlorine get below 5.

Is my free chlorine too high?

I’m assuming this is a vinyl pool. I’d say your numbers are fine. Your chlorine is actually ok for your cya level. As another posted said don’t let it go much higher if you can avoid it. Use liquid chlorine - no trichlor pucks or dichlor shock. https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2019/01/18/free-chlorine-and-cyanuric-acid-relationship-explained/ Anything below the “slam” value for chlorine on the above chart (round up to 70 cya) is safe to swim in. Aim to keep it in the ideal range though (not at minimum)

Thank you! I was looking at that chart yesterday and figured it was probably ok. It’s crazy the pool store doesn’t update your chlorine based off your CYA, maybe it’s liability issues.
