Thanks for all your comments. As I stated initially, I did bring the pool up to FC 36 (during the SLAM) for a couple days based on a CYA of 80 (and the OCLT was 1 or less overnight). I've since kept the pool at FC 7-14. The temperature here has been in the 90s for like 5 weeks. The CYA level...

Good day all, Can you please tell me if a safe swimming range for FC would be between 4-12ppm? Here is the reason I ask... The pool store tells me my CYA is at 80. My (inexperienced) testing with TFT-100 shows CYA in the 35-50 range and DEFINATELY NOT 80. I shocked the pool a few weeks back to...
