I’m getting control of my pool water with the TFP method. Slowly but surely my numbers are getting in line.
Anyway, my CYA isn’t outrageous but it’s higher than it should be. I’ve been following Pool Math App for keeping FC in the right range. Ultimately that’s meant my FC is higher now than it has been before.
My swimmers are now complaining about eyes stinging. My question is - if you have a higher CYA and, as a result, have to keep a higher FC level, is that going to result in symptoms like stinging eyes? Or, since the CYA is higher does the fact that FC is higher become less relevant because some of the chlorine really isn’t available to react (I’m simplifying I know it’s complex). Put differently, is the effect of my FC at 6.5 with CYA 85 going to be similar for my swimmers to as if I had say FC 3.0 and CYA 40?
I’ve watched many of the videos on TFP and they’re great. Just looking for some help on this one.
My numbers (I used a TF-100 kit):
FC 6.5
pH 7.6
TA 115
CH 375
CYA 85
Thanks!
