FC levels

[joemkraus]

In the heat of summer now I am losing FC about 4ppm/day. my CYA is about 40, so as per the TFP suggestions should I be raising it to 60? seems high

"It is very common for a manually dosed pool to lose 2-4ppm Chlorine daily however some users may experience a larger drop, especially in areas of a high UV index. To help combat this issue users may consider maintaining a slightly higher than recommended CYA level such as maybe a 60ppm level to help protect the chlorine. "

When was the last time you tested your CYA?
Targeting a CYA of 50 is reasonable right now. Might or might not lower your FC needs per day.

yesterday, ~ 40 maybe a tad higher

Add 10 ppm of CYA if you like.

I lose 4-5 ppm FC per day during the heart of summer. Not a big deal in our climate.
