I am in the process of slamming and my grandchildren want to swim. I am just about finished water is blue but Taking longer than anticipated due to bleeder on filter damaged and can't run on high. The new bleeder is due in today or tomorrow. My question is can they swim with the FC at 10? Thanks

Can you see the bottom of the pool? If not, then they should not swim.
If so, it is safe to swim if your FC is lower than the shock level for you CYA (which you did not report).

Sorry cya is 80 and FC is 10. Yes I can see the bottom of the pool. Just didn't know if the chlorine would hurt them or bleach their suits?
With a CYA of 80ppm, they could swim with a FC of 30ppm with no issues.
If you are SLAMing, why is your FC so low anyway?

Maybe that is why it has taken so long I thought it was suppose be 10???? Please advise!!!!
Here is a link to the CYA chart

Your shock level is 31-35 so at 10 FC it is taking longer

Just FYI I know where I messed up this spring I had drained my pool and hadn't added any salt or CYA so I had slammed adding and using the 20 cya and the target was 10...... Didn't remember the numbers change with the cya!!!! so again thanks
