The following note in the Chlorine/CYA chart led me to register and ask a question:
Note 2: Most saltwater chlorine generator (SWG) pools appear to prevent algae at a minimum FC level of 4.5% of the CYA level as compared with the roughly 7.5% of the CYA level shown in the "Min FC" column for manually dosed pools.
So a SWG pool can be maintained at a lower FC target than a manually (bleach for me) dosed pool - is this due to the salt effects only or does it also have to do with the chlorine generation process in a SWG. In other words, if I add salt to my non-SWG pool, can I then maintain a lower FC target level and still prevent algae at the SWG applicable FC targets?
Thank you.
