Hey everyone, I just converted to a SWG this year and so far so good (minus an consistent air leak, new pump gaskets / plugs coming in tomorrow); but had a question on calculating % and run time.
Here are my pool readings before I ran the SWG at 100% for 24 hours straight:
FC = 6.0
CYA = 55 - 65? (bad at this one)
PH = 7.4
TA = 80
CH = 150
Salt = 3600
CSI = -0.9
After running the IC40 at max for 24 hours, I checked my FC and it was at 13.5, a 7.5 increase. That seemed higher than I was expecting, but questions below:

- Should I be concerned about a 7.5 FC increase in 24 hours, or is that about what you would expect?
- If that number is in the ball park, for calculations can I just do some napkin math? E.g.,: Running a at 40% would be give me 3 FC over 24 hours, and 1 FC every 8?
- I tested my PH with the FC at 13.5 and it read 7.8, should be concerned that the air leak is aerating and dragging the number up, or disregard since its over 10?
