I think I need to stop reading multiple diff things as there is so much conflicting info. So, I'm going to see if anyone can help me here. I tend to have an obsession trying to get things exact and I just need to understand general tolerances of the chemicals. I just had my water tested on 7/31 and here the results:
FAC - 8
TAC - 8
CYA - 80
TA - 80
PH - 7.2
The chlorinator has been turned to 1 since this test and it's not dropping. I have read that given my CYA is this high, my FAC needs to be high anyway and it's actually within range. It feels like it's too high when I swim. One place tells me it's too high and get it down another says it's right for the CYA level. Any thoughts on what is correct? I don't want to dwell over this for days but if I need to lower the chlorine, is that ok? I had a spa and that was easy but this seems to be a little more.
Thanks
