Irritated eyes

[dunidake]

Hi!
These are my levels, but my son’s eyes get irritated after swimming. Is there anything I can do to tweak the levels to prevent the irritation?
Thank you!

They look good aside from a low cya for sunny texas (55 counts as 60)
Perhaps it’s irritation from sunscreen?

Thank you! Should I try to bump it to 60, or higher?

Wear goggles or try to teach your child to NOT rub their eyes. Most pool water irritation in balanced pools is due to people rubbing their eyes when they come up out of the water. It forces the pool water into the conjunctiva where the chlorine will slowly irritate the delicate tissue. When you come up out of the water, you need to teach them to blink their eyes. That will clear the water.

70-80 is a good range for your location this time of year & a solid 80 in the peak of summer.
This will better protect the fc your swg cell makes from the sun preventing you from running it full throttle to maintain adequate fc thus extending its lifespan.
Follow the
FC/CYA Levels accordingly.
There are No inbetweens on the cya test- always round up if inbetween two values.

Will definitely try your suggestion! I appreciate your time!

Hi!
I just entered the info in the app and it says cya would be out of range if I up it to 80. Do you know why the app would say that!? Thank you again!

You need to tell the app you have a SWCG.

You can also try to lower PH to 7.2-7.4 range and se how it goes.
