Chlorine limit of cleaner

[timrf79]

The Dolphin Sigma states in the manual that it should only be used with a max Chlorine content of 4ppm:

Looking at the Chlorine/CYA chart 4ppm is really low.
It is below the target level for my pool with CYA of 60.

Thoughts, Comments?

4ppm FC at 0 CYA is incredibly harsh. At 60 CYA, not at all.

That is the standard industry statement based EPA drinking water standards. With ZERO CYA.

Once you have CYA in the pool water, active chlorine plummets.

My robot has lived in our pool for its 5 years of life. The plastic is faded. Works great. CYA of ~70 ppm and FC of ~5ppm all year long.

Could I safely run the robot at FC levels of 24 (CYA 60), as long as I rinse it after it is done?

Yes, send it in to scrub then remove and rinse off during the SLAM
