Hello all!
I'm a relative newby to pool ownership. I've had 2 soft sided pools that seemed very easy to maintain. Once we upgraded to a steel above ground pool I was suddenly having a lot of difficulty maintaining my water chemistry. I've been reading more on here and I'm most likely going to switch to the TFP method with liquid chlorine this year. It's definitely a mind shift but ultimately I think it will be easier/better once I get used to it. I've been all over this site trying to understand the relationship between CYA and FCl and was still having a hard time wrapping my brain around the higher recommended levels of FCl. I found this article that goes into a little more depth on why the higher level is necessary and even goes into a bit of the math behind it. (yes, I'm the nerdy type) It is an older article but I found it helpful. Maybe it can help someone else understand too? If anyone has other resources I can look into I'd love to see them. Thanks for the support and information already!

New Thinking: Chlorine/Cyanuric Acid in Balance
The swimming pool industry has long embraced the recommended standard for chlorine concentrations of 1 to 3 ppm or 2 to 4 ppm, depending on who's doing the recommending. The industry has also observed a recommended cyanuric acid range of 10 to 100 ppm, a range that is viewed as necessary to...
