Hi,
I started to use TFP recommendations 2 months ago and so far the water stays clean
However I tried to use the pool few times with FC 6-7 and it was not great experience. Even though I went to the shower within 10-15 minutes after the swimming, my skin got itchy for next 24 hours.
I do not have this issue after using my community pool and my experience was better when I used my pool with FC 2.5-35 FC.
My first theory is that it could be due to high FC levels - if you google safe FC ranges for the pool - most recommendations are 1 to 4ppm
I would be curious:
- how TFP recommendations are going along with other sources recommendations regarding safe FC levels. I.e - is it safe to be in the water with FC = 7 or 8?
- What else could be the cause of the skin irritation beside FC?
Thank you in advance
My water testing were (Using Taylor K 2005 and FAS-DPD Kit):
CYA = 45
FC =6
CC= 0
PH = 7.6
TA = 70
Hardness = 280
Temperature 84F
