OK guys I have read through a lot of information here and have a question in regards to FC:
I understand the TFPC chart of FC vs CYA and it makes a lot of sense, however, why is this not more readily available from other sources? I get confused as to why most test strip kits (I know they aren't accurate) and pool stores would tell you to maintain FC levels of 1-3ppm without regards to CYA levels? This would seem to be a bit short-sighted and cause major problems with pool water especially as CYA levels increase. I am 100% agreeing with the TFPC method and plan to follow this websites recommendation, so I am not doubting anything on TFP at all, this is more out of curiosity for my own mind LOL...
