    How much does chlorine loss in pool party

    I've made some calculations for my pool from information found here in deep end and the result is 0.16 ppm FC per hour per bather for a 6.8k gallon pool. I've not verified it (my pool is not ready to be filled yet). With this number I calculate 2.69 ppm of FC for 13 bather, 4 hours for 21k pool.
