Hi all,
I ran a search on this topic to see how soon after shocking you can return to swimming. Based on what I've read, it looks like it's safe to return to swimming once your FC is below shock level. Here's where it gets foggy for me:
Based on this chart I was referred to for shocking:
pool-school/chlorine_cya_chart_shock
...it states my shock FC level for a CYA of 65 should would be somewhere between 24 and 28. My current FC reads 23, so I would assume I'd be good.
But then I just noticed pool calculator says that my shock FC level is only 19, which would mean a FC of 23 is not swimmable. :|
Which should I follow? Is my FC of 23 safe to swim? I have a family get together at my house today, and there will be about 10 heart-broken kids if they have to stare at a swimming pool they can't swim in all day.
If it's not safe to swim, is there anything I can do to get the FC down a few PPM relatively quickly?
Thanks
