Balancing Options for FG Pool in Toronto

[Van G]

The first season that I'll be taking my Salt from 1400 to 3000 ppm to help our Salt Cell produce enough FC. Just want to clarify what numbers I should shoot for and to either confirm or deny some information I have been given (or mistaken) the past couple of years.

Are the following numbers okay because of FG pool and our northern latitude?
CYA - 50 and FC Target of 4
CH - don't have to be concerned with it because of FG (currently 100)
BUT from re-reading Pool School CH should be at 250 for FG pool and CYA should be at a min 60?

Should these be the numbers I shoot for this season?
FC - 4
pH - 7.4
TA - 60
CH - 250
CYA - 60
Salt - 3000

A lower CYA will probably work in your area. Up to you.
CH is up to you -- some FG pool manufacturers are adamant about CH level for their warranty. So that is why our levels are shown as such. You might be able to run at a lower level without issue.

So, in conclusion -- Recommended Levels
