Hello everyone. I have a CYA of around 45 and I had a couple of questions.
The past few days, I have been bumping my FC up to 9 each night. When I get home today from work (6:15 PM) the FC was tested at 4.5.
I have the Taylor K-2006 kit. I know I have passed the SLAM test because I am losing less than 1 FC overnight.
Is this too much of a drop each day? (FC of 9 to 4.5?) Is this because I am bumping the FC up so high at night? I just read over the CYA/FC chart again and noticed that the target FC for a CYA of 45 is 5.175.
So, if the the FC starts at 9, does this mean it will drop faster as opposed to starting it around 7 FC? I am worried that if I start it at 7 that I will drop below the minimum FC (3.375). What do you believe would be an ideal target at night when I add bleach? I get a lot of sun on the pool 'til about 5:00 PM. Your help is much appreciated!
