Hello all I have been reading a lot here and loving it! I adapted the TFP method last summer and it's been great to me, thank you all.
I was wondering are there certain times you raise your FC higher then your regular goal. I know that pool stores suggest after having a lot of ppl in the pool to add shock. So I was wondering when using the TFP method does the same apply, well not shock but add some extra bleach after a party. I have a 12000 gal pool that get a lot of use some Sunday I could have over 15 kids and adults in there. What do you think?
 
Welcome to TFP!

Yes, I always add extra bleach when folks are coming over to swim. Especially kids. I usually go 12 ppm the morning of and then again that evening. What is your CYA? It is safe to swim up to shock level for your CYA, [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA].
 
Great thanks. Are there any other times I should go up that high (besides needing a slam). Another question If u don't mind me asking what causes TA to go up? I was at 70 then it just jumped to 90
 
No, that is it, when people come over and contaminate your pool. :)

Baking soda makes TA go up. If you didn't add any then evaporation and filling with higher TA fill water is the only other way.
