Bather Load

[Julia'sPool]

I keep reading about "high bather load". Is there a way to calculate it? Or is it just trial and error, keeping track of number of people and how testing is affected?

I think there are some ways to estimate it, but there is no need to try to be exact.

Just add a couple ppm of FC before a lot of people are going to swim and check the levels after.

Use all the formulas you want, the next day FC will still be lower than you expected

Thank you!
