So I just got a pool on 7/4 and I've been keeping my FC at a goal level of 6.. Looking back it was someone who recommened that's what I shoot for right out the gate.. Not sure if that was just an initial suggestion or what but that's what I've been using in the poolmath calc..
Now that I look the default FC value in the calc is 4.. Am I keeping my FC too high??
Also, surfing around it shows values waaaay lower then 4 even!
Guideline values:
Free chlorine: 0.5-1.5 ppm (mg/l)
Combined chlorine: 0-0.5 ppm (mg/l)
Total chlorine: 0.5-1.5 ppm (mg/l)
Cyanuric acid: 0-20 ppm (mg/l)
---------------------------------------------------
Maintain your chlorine levels at 1 - 3 ppm
---------------------------------------------------
Free chlorine -- the most active chlorine in pool water -- should be tested every other day and maintained at an ideal range of 1 to 3 ppm
---------------------------------------------------
Regardless of how frequently or what system you use to add chlorine to the water, the chlorine level should stay between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million (ppm) to maintain a healthy pool.
