Any Issue With High(er) FC?

[FattyLumpkin]

My current water:

FC: 12
CC: 0.5
CYA: 55
TA: 80
pH: 7.5
Salt: 3200
Crystal clear (thanks to all of you)

I'm tweaking my CYA presently 10ppm at a time so I don't overshoot (targeting 75), and I'm trying to bring my FC down to the recommended levels for SWCG by adjusting my cell % and run time (currently 50% @ 8 hours per day).

But my relatively high FC level got me wondering: what are the harm(s) of maintaining a level of FC at a level higher than that which is recommended for the current CYA level? I've read that it's safe to swim up to shock level for my CYA, but is that the only thing to be concerned with?

Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with it at that level but it's a waste. The higher FC will burn off faster than if you are closer to the target level.

It would be a waste of money (bleach) or cell life (SWG). That's pretty much it, it's not a straight X ppm loss per day so you can't "buy" yourself a bunch of days, for instance.

ok...So I am wondering or rather asking to learn...why does it burn off faster at higher levels?

Pool dumb but learning soooo much!
