So this thought occurred to me when replying on another thread. What do TFP manual dosers do when they go on vacation?
I've seen a few threads on vacations, and statements about raise FC to Shock Level. Why not higher? Damage to pool or filter? No one will be swimming in it...
Paul, it's because once FC gets too high, it not only can be a problem for some pools with a liner, but the extra FC is a very easy target to the sun since there's not enough corresponding CYA to bond to. It drops fast enough at regular SLAM levels, but higher than that and it's just not as productive as you might hope when it oxidizes that fast.I've seen a few threads on vacations, and statements about raise FC to Shock Level.

...Diminishing returns is another. FC is lost to UV as a percentage per day, not a fixed ppm amount so the higher your FC level, the more you lose per day...
Depending upon the type tablets you use, one tab will add anywhere form about 6-9 ppm of CYA. You can use the Poolmath Calculator and look at the section towards the bottom "Effects of Adding Chemicals" to see more details.If I float pucks for that time, how much CYA rise am I at?
Bwaaahaaa! We had one!"Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ" version of a pool: "Set-it & Forget-it".
