Hey all,
New pool owner here, very happy to have found this place and the wealth of knowledge that is pool school.
Our pool was completed about 6 weeks ago. I'm brushing it daily because there's still some plaster dust that comes up when I do. No biggie there.
My biggest question is about FC and CYA. Leslie's seems to have a much more lax opinion about it than TFP. Following their recommendation, I added CYA to my pool, and so now it seems that I'm sitting at 50-60 CYA. Leslie's seems ok just having FC between 2 and 4, but according to https://www.troublefreepool.com/content/128-chlorine-cya-chart-slam-shock, it sounds like I really need FC at 7?
7 seems kind of high. Will CYA bleed off on it's own, or do I need to knock it down? Am I being over-sensitive to the amount of FC that is required to be effective at my level of CYA?
Thanks in advance!
