Quick question as I let my pool go back to normal. I've been raising my CYA up to 70 (it's between 30/40 right now but I just put another 3lbs in so it should go up more in the next day or so), and I started looking at the Pool Math again. I noticed that under the "suggested FC levels" it splits it between SWG, Normal, and Shock levels. So my question is, since I have a SWG, am I letting it get down to the level recommended under SWG (2), or am I trying to keep it in the "Normal" range of 2-6? I feel that we said earlier I'd want to level it out and leave it my FC at 5, but I wanted to check first. I'm going on vacation tomorrow so I'm telling someone how to test it and keep it in range. Need to know where they should be aiming for in case something goes wrong.

For a CYA of 70 you want to maintain a target level around 5ppm FC and no less than 3ppm. http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/128-chlorine-cya-chart-slam-shock
At 80 it would be 6 & 4
