The guy at Leslie's said my 13 ppm chlorine level was a health hazard. I try to keep it at 7-8 per the CYA chart (my CYA is ~30) but I had to shock it a few days ago. What is the cut off for you guys? There doesn't seem to be much consensus on what an 'unsafe' level of chlorine is. According to Leslie's, anything above 5 is unsafe.
How much chlorine is too high to swim in?

See? That goes to show you that Leslie's knows bupkis about pool chemistry. It is safe to swim up to your SLAM process level. If your CYA is 40ppm the SLAM level is 16ppm. So swimming is fine.
(if you are reading anything over 30 on the CYA tube, that makes it 40. Its a logarithmic scale, not a linear one)
