I am adding pucks to get my CYA up from 30 to 40, as I am adding several my FC is maintaining around 9ppm. As warm weather is approaching is 9 ppm too high to swim in?
FC=9 ppm, OK to swim?

You're fine as long as you don't exceed the SLAM/shock level. Please see FC/CYA Levels.
CYA of 30 you can go in up to 12. CYA of 40 up to 16.

You can safely swim in a pool as long as the FC is above the minimum and at or below SLAM level based on your CYA. You must also be able to see the bottom of the pool in the deep end of the pool.
SLAM level FC for a CYA of 30 is 12 ppm.
Go swimming.

thanks. Yes, just finished a SLAM a few days ago, so part of the high FC is due to the SLAM, but mostly I think i it is maintaining around FC=9 since I am adding several pucks. Thanks, good to know
Oh Yea!...I can see the bottom!! After a SLAM it looks like liquid glass!
