Hi all
2nd year pool owner (first year on the forum). I have an SWG that I have set very high (65%) since by stabilizer reading had been low. Got the stabilizer to about 60 ppm (per SWG pool recommendation) and dialed the SWG down to 35. We had a bad weather week and in addition to my solar heating system I left my solar pool cover on for cool nights. I checked the FC and it was at 8 ppm. So I dialed back the SWG to 10. Today I got a reading of 10 ppm; I now turned it down. All readings were fine expect pH was high; I already added acid to bring it down.
My question:
Is it safe to swim with a FC reading of 10 and a CC reading of 0? Normal should be 3-5 based on pool school. Or do I wait a few days until the FC comes down? Current temp of the pool is 81 degrees.
I heard that a solar pool cover reduces need for chemicals. I guess I should turn off the SWG or really low if the cover is going to be on for more than a few days?
