Thanks, chem geek. This confirmed my suspicion, but you and Richard320's link (of your analysis, I believe) gave me quantitative information to optimize my pool for FC loss vs. chlorine dosage frequency. I am assuming your analysis is purely theoretical, correct? Or is it experimental? I didn't...

Thanks, Richard320. I visited the link and was blown away by the in-depth details.

OK. Thanks to you all for directing me to keep at/above the target.

OK. Thanks. I'll try to keep a day or two above target to be sure. In my case, it will be ~8 ppm. Follow-up question: what is an unsafe FC level for a CYA level of 50 ppm? I'm unsure if this needs to be a new thread, but this seems applicable since overshooting the target is a common thing.

Does FC dissipate faster per unit time the higher your FC level is above the target FC in the Chlorine/CYA table? I'm trying to see if I'll have to use more chemicals if I add chlorine less frequently, but at higher doses. For example, my pool has a CYA of 50 ppm right now. According to the...

I'm new to the TFPC method (and pools in general), but have learned a lot already on the theory behind it on this website. Now to some practical questions. When looking at the Chlorine/CYA Chart, for my CYA level of 50 ppm... (1) When should I add chlorine to the pool (liquid chlorine, 12.5%...

Thanks, JVTrain and pooldv. I've thought about keeping them for the reasons you stated, but was worried about shelf life. Do you have any idea how long these would last? It will take quite some time to go through the 40+ 3" trichlor tablets if I only use them for their CYA benefits.

Hello All, Here's my (pool) story, so far: We bought a house two years ago and inherited a pool (see details in signature) that I didn't get around to messing with until this past fall (house renovations were priority). Well, this fall we took off the tattered pool cover that the previous...
